It's been a real interesting last couple of days here. Besides working on my paper and power point presentation, I've been attending various workshops offered to students in the program..jpg)
I recently attended a resume workshop, which turned out to be pretty informative. Not only do I have a new education, awards and related experience to add, I have more than twenty-five years of experience that I am not sure what to do with. There are some valuable skills I would like to brag about, but can a resume really be five pages long? I don't think so. Good thing they are taking us to Morgan Stanley today (one of the many sponsors for this program) who will working with us one on one to discuss our resumes and our future. Career planning at it's finest!
And then yesterday, people from The Princeton Review came to Purchase to discuss GREs - grad school tests. Hard to believe that within the next year or so I should already be considering that! I was worried they were just coming to sell us their wares, as they really are a GRE test prep service, but no - our visitor spent an hour giving us really good tips on how they grade the GREs, what kinds of questions will be in the math parth, the verbal part and the written part - and how long we would have to do them. He told us what we should be studying now and how. He also shared some tips on guessing answers. It was like a free class from the Princeton Review! Very cool indeed! And it made the whole process sound very doable.
It's nice to see so many people excited about our futures here at Purchase. Makes the time away from family and friends and pets and kids almost worth it.
