What was challenging about this experience? Include at least two. • The challenging thing about this experience was seeing how many students there were. It was a little intimidating, because I felt like a number, I couldn’t interact more with employers on a personal level. • Another challenging thing was, I felt that I should have prepared more, especially in researching the company that I was interested in which would have impressed the employer. After reflecting on the experience overall, I’d also like to know about how a few specific components went for you: 4. What did you think was effective (or not) about introducing yourself (personal commercial)? How do you know this (what indicated it was effective or not)? One think that I knew that wasn’t effective when it came down to introducing myself is, I didn’t initiate the first contact. Since I was in a rush, I awkwardly stood there and waited for the employer to make the first move. Which probably showed the employer that I lacked in confidence. 5. How did giving the representative your resume go? I didn’t bring resumes for this event. Since this was my first career fair, I wanted to observe how other students behaved. But for the next fair that I will attend, I will bring all of my

After taking this assessment, my strengths were belief, consistency, maximizer, input and connectedness. According to the assessment, belief is a strength because of understanding there is more to life than just material items.

A family member or friend needing something is more important than my own needs (Gallop, Inc.,
Another strength that I have is being an active listener. I listened to my clients and utilized a lot of micro skills. Insuring confidentiality was also a strength that I developed closer to the end of field placement. Conducting assessments and making sure I tracked and exhausted the topics was also a strength that I identified throughout field.

A skill that I could work on is being more conscious of self in terms of body language during interviews, because at times I find myself with my arms cross which may give an indication that I’m closed off or

We spoke about the companies we had researched and wanted to speak to at the fair which was again very comforting for me. Arriving at the fair I knew that I needed to shed my security blanket and begin to pursue some of my companies of interest. The first recruiter I spoke to was very pleasant but informed me that there were only marketing internship positions available at the moment. I was caught off guard by the response and forgot to grab a business card, name, or number in case I wanted to follow up on the company for an open position at a later date.

While this was not my ideal geographical location to start a career, I decided to stay interest and not close an opportunity. However, the man asked
