This report requested by Michele Bartosek pertains to the Alpha Kappa Psi Career Fair, hosted at Central Michigan University (CMU). While attending my first CMU career fair, I was not actively seeking an internship, but rather gaining experience and building my network. When I walked into Finch Fieldhouse, I did not expect there to be 143 tables worth of future employers, all squeezed into one gym. Although the Alpha Kappa Psi career fair was extremely overwhelming and stressful, it was beneficial to go as a freshman to understand what I can improve on at the next career fair. I understand the importance of many potential employers attending this event at this venue to maximize the opportunity for the students, however having so many people…

When I went to my orientation last year, I did not want to be there. I was not excited for college, and I was upset that I had to attend orientation for two days.

My transition mentors were great people, but they did not notice that I was miserable.…

Also, next time I will prepare some notes to prompt me and to ensure I do not forget to mention any important details the students may…
I got really lucky because I did a couple of work experience with the company of Mace. I was able to get in but things were not easy. Since I was a rooky at this job, I was not really given big responsibilities to do and therefore I was more of an assistant project manager. Had to learn from the senior workers so that I could hopefully engulf their experience for my benefit of…
