All- Majors Career Fairs
On September 22, I had a chance to go to All- Majors Career Fairs and talked to a lot of representations/ employees from different companies.

I just want to graduate and get a job. Talking to Stephanie made me realize that there are a lot of things that I should be prepared before enrolling for Master Degree.

A student with a brand new Bachelor’s Degree does not have much experience on any field, she recommended that I should go to work for couple years and then come back school to pursue a Master 's Degree. Eventually, she said Lone Star College is the best option for students who want to work and go to school at the same time. The tuition is expensive but we can redeem it later. Yet, talking to her gave me a lot of idea how to improve my communication skills. She demonstrated some example for me about how to gain good impression from my future employee or interviewers after I told her that English is not my first language. I think I was lucky when I stopped by her table and had a conversation with
