By Student Ambassador Suhana During this pandemic, the only thing we can do is to take good care of ourselves, each other, and work our way towards success. I have a lot more time for myself so my goal is to take advantage of it and push myself for job preparedness and lifelong learning. I personally think we can make these days super productive by figuring out what we want to do in the future. I am majoring in Management Information System which is a comprehension of Business and Technology. I have always been focused on getting experiences not only because my major requires, but also realizing that planning ahead and developing myself professionally is where my passion lies. I have always been curious about how the professional world would look, how I would prepare myself for the job of my dream? As soon as I graduated from high school, I did internship in a bank and I used to be a candidate for Model United Nations to gain experience. I have been working as a student assistant for two years at College of San Mateo. These jobs helped me walk the path towards how a skillful job would look like. The quarantine made me realized that it's time for me to think outside of the box and start preparing myself for a real/ professional job and start looking for opportunities around me. The first step for my job preparedness and lifelong learning was to update my resume. It is really important for us to realize what we have done to push ourselves even more. I added everything that I have achieved so far to my profile, academic backgrounds, skills, and work experience. My resume motivates me to broaden my skills, have more job experience and boost my GPA. The second step that I took for my job preparedness and lifelong learning was updating my Linked In profile. I displayed my resume and I started looking for pages that I am interested in and turned on all the notification buttons for the opportunities that I deserve. It is helping me in professional networking, display my resume, and enhance my professional reputation by posting updates and interacting with people. Additionally, there are courses that Linked In provides for free such as Excel, Microsoft Access, Data Science and Analytics that I am interested in learning. I realize that it is good to limit myself with the job positions and careers that I would be interested in working for the long term. Being a Management Information System student, I did a lot of research about what kind of job offers I can attract with this major. While researching, I kept several things on my mind, such as linking my major and my career, my personality, and most importantly, my interests. In researching, I learned important things for the future about how career planning should be based on knowing my values, identifying my skills and discovering career planning along with salary, and research career options. I was finally able to pick top job positions that I would call dream positions. To be specific, computer system analyst, information analyst, database administrator, and network administrator are my top choices. Ultimately, I aim to work for the best companies like Cisco, Workday, Apple, Adobe, HP Inc, Tesla using my Management Information System degree. All of these companies focus on Information Technology. With years of experiences in great companies like these, my goal is to start my own company and make it the best workplace.
