Professional Development finished
out the semester strong! Our committee’s purpose this semester was to give
members a glance into the professional world and give them tips on how to do
well in it. We held interactive and informative events about once a week to
fulfill this goal. One of our events was an interview workshop where members
were informed about potential interview questions, and then discussed in small
groups how they would answer them. With positive criticism and useful
strategies, we helped the members gain a better understanding of how to
ace that interview. After all, there is no job if you can’t get hired.
In addition to the informative
events, it is necessary to have good teamwork skills. More likely than not, you
will communicate with people every day in the workplace. For one of our
teamwork events, Escape Room, we had teams try to break out of locked rooms by
solving a series of puzzles. The puzzles could not be solved alone. The better
the team worked together, the more efficient the team was in escaping from the
room. Escape Room was a fun event with an underlying skill builder. It’s
important that we continue to help the members grow in these ways. I look
forward to some new exciting professional events to come in the next semester!
