A while ago, I had the opportunity to attend the Career Fair and was very glad I went. The experience was amazing, and truly eye opening as to what to expect in the future as a business student here at Villanova. 

The Career Fair is a chance for students to talk to representatives from a variety of different career paths, and possibly encounter interview, internship, or job opportunities. The fair consisted of over 100 tables hosted by companies from all areas of expertise. There were consulting firms, finance firms, and even tables with engineering firms as well. While I didn’t expect to necessarily talk to many people there, I more went just for the experience, I found my curiosity got the better of me. I approached Goldman Sachs and Factset in order to learn more about their company Talking to these companies as a freshman, I didn’t expect to get any internships but still valued the conversation. I hoped that talking to them would help me to figure out what I would want to do with my career. The experience answered so many questions I had, and was definitely beneficial in allowing me to see what it will be like in a few years when I am looking for an internship, or even a job. It exposed me to many career paths that I didn’t even know existed, and opened my eyes to the possibility I have in the next few years. 

Although my goal going in was to go to the fair and look around to experience the atmosphere, I ended up going even further and talking to representatives at the tables. I got way more out of this experience than I thought I would, and I truly am excited to see what the future holds. The Career Fair is an event I will definitely be attending in the years to come.

This is a link to a website that talks about all the different careers available to business majors and by attending this Fair i feel like I was able to get some exposure to a lot of them:

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
