1. - Communication
I began this class having no idea of what to do after I graduated. I was really lost in the sense of looking for a job or even interviews because of not knowing what to do in the whole time from finding a job to hand shaking it. So that transition from college to real life would definitely going to hit me hard, and I realized that almost before finishing my studies, so taking this class was necessary. Honestly, I was not planning to take this class but the destiny shoved me out of another class and finally ended up being in Intro to Career Development, which I couldn’t be more grateful.
While studying hard for engineering classes, I totally forgot about the communication and social skills one needs in order to be distinguished from all of those employees that want to be recruited. Also, in the real world there is too much self-interest, and by taking this class I definitely can now take advantage of certain situations that would benefit me in ways I couldn’t even imagine before. From a handshake, to changing my designed paycheck, this class has been one of the most useful classes I have taken before, not because of its difficulty, but because of its study in something that a lot of people miss, which is the study in-between that guides you after college and before work. I used to not be worried about these subjects, but my family kept asking me about when I was going to graduate and what are my plans for real life which made me feel really uncomfortable and desperate because I really did not know what to do, where to search, or who to ask! …show more content…
The career center is there, but specific details got to be asked and for me to ask those questions requires experience, which I did not had, so by going to the career center to ask certain questions could’ve helped me, but honestly it wouldn’t covered everything I needed to know since I did not asked the most important questions because I did not knew what were they. My mother kept calling me because I told her I did not know what to do after I graduated, so she was really making me nervous day after day, so there was something I had to do. I am not the think-do kind of person so I kept concentrating on the current subjects for A’s, until my dad starting calling me too. They both knew there was something going on because I wouldn’t answer their calls every time they called, so they sent my sister in. She is older than me so she talked me out of it and I started looking for options and ways out. I started searching on Google and honestly, got annoyed and sick of it. I kept telling them everything was just fine and that everything was already figured out, but in reality it was not. It really made me feel sad that I did not have a plan already visualized, because I usually like not having any kind of duties pushed over or problems that I have not solved. I kept continuing my studies until life changed my direction and I had 1 class missing. This made me search all over campus for a class that had 1 credit, and since this was the only one available, I did everything I could to get into the class, because if I did not got into it, I would’ve been dropped out of my F-1 Visa status, and that would’ve had meant that I was an illegal immigrant in the United States. This was the top of the cherry so I was really stressed because of this and hardcore classes in the engineering building, but Professor Adam Miller was very comprehensive and helped me through the whole process, and even came to help me with my visa status in the CGE building, which was already out of status, and told my International advisor that I was already in the class. At first I was disappointed, since 1 more hour of class would really tight up my schedule because I had to be there at 3:30, when my class ended at 3:21 in the engineering building. I had my car stolen as soon as I started the
