Baruch Undergrad Student Survival Guide 19-20 by USG Baruch

BARUCH COLLEGE UNDERGRADUATE

SURVIVAL GUIDE

ISSUE NO. 8 2019-2020

To our newest bearcats, Welcome to Baruch College! You must have a ton of questions. What’s a survival guide? Which club should I join? And what in the world is a bearcat? Use this guide to navigate through the twists and turns of college. These formative years can be incredibly stressful, or it can be the best years of your life. My advice: Read through the survival guide as you would a road map. It can lead you to where you want to go. And when you’re lost, refer to this guide to help find your way. Whether it be our 200+ clubs and organizations, the resources and services that our faculty provides, solid professional career advice, or even discounts for the restaurants nearby, we got you! As you skim through the pages, I’d like to cast a light on clubs. Imagine being in a group with like-minded individuals who ask the same questions and have the same interests.

I’m telling you - there’s nothing more magical than a passionate group of people determined to make an impact. Clubs are the life force of our school. The community has overcome Ivy League schools in trading competitions, received accolades from the NYT and WSJ, and secured jobs for students after graduation. Now that I’ve answered some of your questions, I, in turn, have one question for you: What are you passionate about? This answer is very important. Use it as a north star to guide you through this arduous and life-changing journey. I found my passion serving my community, and as president, I am determined to help anyone and everyone out. Here’s to finding your north star,

Dakshatha Daggala USG President 2019-2020

P.S. - If you wa nt to know what a bearcat is, come throug h to Room 3-270.

Baruch's Success Stories

Resources Tools for Academic Excellence The Academic Advisement Center is useful for when students have any questions about academic policies,

requirements, and procedures. Students can schedule an appointment (highly recommended) or walk in

to meet one-on-one with 1 of the 8 academic advisors. Sessions with the academic advisors usually

last about 15 minutes. Come prepared for a session by having a printed copy of your DegreeWorks Audit

from CUNY Portal. The Academic Advisement Center also has many resources and worksheets to help

keep students on track with their required courses to ensure that they graduate within 4 years.

Students can also go to this center if they need to drop courses or declare a major/minor.

Center for Academic Advisement

Hours vary by week so call or go online /baruch.cuny.edu/undergraduate-advisement-and-orientation/ to check for the most current hours.

Most of the advisors in the Academic Advisement Center have been there for over

30 years.

The Academic Advisement Center used to be a decentralized advisement center

(having separate advisement centers for Zicklin, Weismann, and Marx students),

but became centralized (joining into one advisement center) in 1998.

The Writing Center is a great resource to use when students are struggling with a writing assignment for any course. The

professional consultants at the Writing Center not only draft, edit, and provide critical feedback to help improve your

writing skills, but also help you start an assignment if you do not know where to begin, either by brainstorming ideas or

by helping you start a thesis statement. The Writing Center has a walk-in area on the second floor of the William and Anita

Newman Library, but for the Writing Center’s main location (NVC 8-185), you have to schedule an appointment in person or

online. Scheduled appointments at the main center are 50-minute sessions, while walk-ins in the Newman Library are

25-minute sessions. Workshops are also offered by the Writing Center to help students improve their writing skills.

The Writing Center can not only help with essays, but they can help with other

writing assignments you may have: lab reports, resumes, cover letters, personal

writing, and more!

All of the Writing Center’s consultants are graduate-trained teachers of college

writing and writers themselves. In addition to their work in the Writing Center,

they teach at colleges across the city.

The Student Academic Consulting Center (SACC) is Baruch’s free peer-tutoring center that strives to help

students succeed academically and helps students develop the knowledge and skills necessary for future

success. SACC has peer tutors for a majority of undergraduate courses in subjects like mathematics, natural

sciences, modern languages, communications, and business. This center has weekly review workshops and

resources like textbooks, practice exams, and instructional videos available for students to use. SACC also has

tools to help non-English speakers improve their English communication skills.

Study Abroad

The Study Abroad Office The Study Abroad Office at Baruch helps students make an international experience a part of their academic degree program. They advise students

about opportunities and orient them to overcome financial, curricular or personal obstacles. Baruch students are eligible to attend study abroad

programs ranging from January intersession and summer sessions to a semester or even an academic year abroad.

Students should think about studying abroad now and start by attending the bi-annual Study Abroad Fair, which takes place in mid-September and

mid-February. These fairs offer a wonderful opportunity for program providers and past participants to speak to Baruch students about the

opportunities available to them.

Exchange students from our partner universities who are studying at Baruch will also staff tables to give Baruch students first-hand information

about campus life abroad. Understanding the kinds of academic and cultural experiences our students have abroad will help prospective students

integrate studying abroad into their overall college career.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES SCDC RESOURCES & SKILLS ASSESSMENT STARR SEARCH

RESUME REVIEW

Starr Search is a great tool to use to book all of your appointments with SCDC. You can schedule and apply for leadership programs, mock interviews, part-time and full-time opportunities, resume review, and more with Starr Search.

For resume review sessions, you can either schedule an appointment with SCDC online using Starr Search, go to SDCD during walk-in hours, or attend a resume rush. At these sessions, staff members help compose, review, and edit resumes. SCDC requires that students bring a paper copy of their resume when they schedule an appointment to have their resume reviewed.

CAREER COUNSELING Career counseling can help guide students in selecting a major and career, and can also help students find the right job for them, transition between industries, and guide students into making important life decisions for their career. The SCDC uses a self assessment test along with a student’s values, interest, skills, accomplishments, and other traits to help pair the student with the right major or career for them.

MOCK INTERVIEWS Mock interviews are a great way for students to gain experience in the interview process for the real world after college. Students have to schedule an appointment for a mock interview using Starr Search. To prepare for the interview, students are encouraged to stop by the SCDC to pick up a packet on interviewing to help them practice. On the day of the interview, students should come prepared for their mock interview as if it were a real interview, dressed in business attire and prepared with a copy of their resume. A flash drive is necessary to bring to a mock interview so students can save the recording of their mock interview and review it at home.

CAREER FAIRS SCDC offers a few career fairs throughout the school year to give students the chance to meet and network with companies. Some of the career fair that SCDC offers are the fall CPA fair, the fall and spring career internship fairs, and the Diversity Pipeline Programs showcase. 60 to 90 companies attend these fairs to meet and collect resumes from students. Visit Starr Search to find out more information about upcoming career fairs.

VOCATIONAL TESTING The SCDC offers individual assessments to help students make decisions for their major or intended career.

Assessments and self-evaluations can be done through Starr Search.

Know Youself

Job Hunting Basics The answer to these questions can help you develop your personal pitch. Knowing who you are and what you want to do will keep you on the right course throughout your college career! Can you describe yourself using 5 words or less? What is your passion? Why? What are your hobbies? What do they say about you? What interests you? What is interesting about you that makes you stand out from everyone else? Imagine yourself in an elevator with the CEO or Managing Director at a firm. How would you introduce and describe yourself to him/her in 30-60 seconds?

General Resume Tips Your Address City, State, Zip Code Date First and Last Name of Contact Person Title of Contact Person Name of Company/Organization Street Address or PO Box City, State, Zip Code Dear Mr./Mrs. Last Name, 1st Paragraph: State why you are writing. Identify the position, field or general area of your inquiry. Also, state how you heard about the opening or organization. 2nd Paragraph: Indicate your career or job objective and why you are particularly suited for this company and the type of work. Highlight your relevant achievements and qualifications, and elaborate on key points from your resume without repeating it entirely. Communicate to the employer that you understand the position out your related work experience and coursework. 3rd Paragraph: Politely request an interview and repeat your phone and email contact information. Lastly, thank the employer for his/her time and consideration. Sincerely, Your Name Typed

Don’t forget to sign your name before faxing or mailing the letter and keep a copy for your records! If you are sending a cover letter by email, copy and paste the letter into the body of the email message. You do not have to electronically sign your letter.

Your resume is one of the most important pieces of any job application. It is a written compilation of your education, work experience, credentials, and accomplishments. It lets employers know who you are, what you’ve done, and what you can do to add value to their company. To put your best foot forward, make sure your resume is perfect. This means no grammatical mistakes or typos! Have a friend or a SCDC counselor look it over before sending. A pro tip to impress the people looking at your resume is to quantify your experience. For example, “Tutored high school students” sounds much less impressive than “Taught weekly Calculus and Physics classes to a group of 8 high school seniors in preparation for their AP exams. 6 students received a score of 5/5 and 2 received a 4/5.”

Writing a Cover Letter A cover letter is a one-page statement of your objective to highlight your skills and interests in a particular field/position. It should communicate to recruiters or employers why you are a good match for the company and the desired position. Take the time to craft a good letter and proofread it very carefully before sending. If your cover letter has errors, your whole application might get thrown out!

Acing the Interview

It is always important to prepare for your interview. You not only need to know yourself well, but also the company, industry, and position you are applying for. Be sure to do your research and know your facts. Questions you might be asked in an interview include: It lets employers know who you are, what you’ve done, and what you can do to add value to their company. Can you tell me a little about yourself? (Careful! This shouldn’t be about your personal life. Use this as an opportunity to pitch yourself.) What are your strengths and weaknesses? Walk me through your resume. What do you know about our company? How did you hear about this position and why did you apply? Tell me about a conflict you’ve faced at work and how you overcame it. What do you like to do outside of work or school? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? How do you think this industry will change in that time? What would you do in your first 90 days in this position?

Writing a thank you email after an interview is a neces sity that you shou ld not compromise. In fact, many em ployers think less of cand idates who fail to follow-up promptly . Don’t send a tha nk you email as soon as you walk out of the interview, wait a few hours but no later than 24 hours aft er the interview.

LinkedIn is a valuable resource for researching and connecting with employers and other business people. Be sure to have a professional headshot with a simple background. Connect with people you’ve previously met or worked with. The better the connections, the better the recommendations; be careful not to add random strangers. List your experiences and give 2-3 bullet points detailing/showcasing what you did. Remember to be concise and quantify if possible. Use keywords and powerful words in your profile so search engines can find you, increasing your chances of offers.

If any topics stood out and sparked a conversation durin g the interview, do n’t be shy to include it. Thank you em ails should be 1-2 parag raphs.

A thank you goes a long way!

“Do you have any questions for me?” is a question asked at the end of every interview, but you don’t have to wait until it’s over to ask your interviewer questions! It’s actually a good idea to ask any questions you have throughout the interview. It’s more natural and can help you apply yourself more to the position. It also helps avoid any confusion afterward. Questions to ask your interview include: What are some skills and qualities you look for in employees/interns? How has your company’s culture/habits influenced or changed you? What do you like about working at this company? What is the biggest issue your staff is currently facing and would I be in a position to help you solve this problem? What do you like to do outside of work or school? At the end of the interview, you should ask the employer what the next step in the process is. This essential question shows you are interested in moving along in the process, and invites him/her to tell you how many other applicants there are for this position.

In a professional setting, it is best to keep your makeup natural and light. However, if you are going to wear a subtle outfit, a bit of color on your lips can’t hurt! If red lipstick makes you feel powerful and bold, then wear it and let your competence shine just as boldly. “It's usually a long and tiring process, but I would rather own things I see myself wearing more than once than buy something just because I need to.”

Own Your Style Wearing full suits is a no-brainer. But if your company has a more casual dress code, why not use it to your advantage? Without going too overboard, experiment with different colors and textures. Your fashion is an expression of your individuality, so find your own unique style!

Leadership Weekend

Alternative Spring Break

Through the Office of Student Life, students from Baruch College have the opportunity to dedicate their spring break to serving others as part of the Alternative Spring Break Program. Last year, we had groups of Baruch students served in two locations: New York City or Philadelphia, PA. The trip consisted of a combination of education, direct service, experiential learning, critical analysis, and reflection. Through engaging workshops and community service with the local organizations, students learned firsthand about housing instabilities and food insecurities faced by the community members and build a greater understanding of the issues around homelessness, poverty and structural racism.

The Annual Student Leadership Weekend is an immersive retreat experience where students explore their values, improve communication, and participate in team building and group decision making. At the end of Leadership Weekend, students will be able to make connections between various leadership experiences and develop their unique leadership style. This retreat takes place outside of NYC, giving participants the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors Director of Aquatics / Head Coach: while making new friends and connections within their Baruch Charles Lampasso (646) 312-5060 community.

Club Hours

Clubroom Hours

All of the clubs at Baruch share a space on the third floor of the Newman Vertical Campus. The Club Room Area is located on the West Wing of the third floor – this area also includes the Game Room, the PAWS Health and Wellness Office, GLASS LGBT Safe Space, Veterans’ Services, Religious Chaplin’s’ offices, Lexicon, the Ticker, WBMB, and the offices of both the Graduate and Undergraduate Student Government.

Official club hours at Baruch are on Thursdays from 12:30PM to 2:30PM. Because most Tuesday and Thursday classes happen during the same time slot, Tuesday from 12:30PM to 2:30PM is typically free (with the exception of some courses, such as science labs or lectures and FYS courses). During this time, no classes are scheduled to give students free time to attend any program of their choice, such as cultural, social, and/or professional events. These events will be hosted by Baruch itself, or by any of the numerous clubs on campus.

Clubrooms are generally open the same hours as the college, but on weekends as well as most vacation dates, the club rooms are not open. To stay informed about the hours of operation for the clubrooms, students should contact their local club leaders or the Office of Student Life.
