A fun filled evening of chatting and chewing
For starters, welcome to Abrakadabra JOB! This blog has been created by a few like-minded NYU college students interested in sharing their career and academically related experiences with the greater college community. Viewers of this blog are encouraged to pose questions about their own job/internship/school related curiosities, or comment on posts that are of interest to them. Without further ado....
Last evening a speaker series/informal dinner took place at the NYU Center for Career Development ("Wasserman"). The event featured a group of panelists who spoke about their experiences studying, working, and volunteering abroad, and most students in attendance were those interested in taking part in any or all of such things. Along with a team of my fellow "peer educators" (as we're called), I have spent the last couple of months planning, coordinating, and advertising for this event.
Given the amount of event invitations most college students are inundated with via facebook/email/posters, turnout is often unpredictable, even when there is promise of free food! Luckily we had an excellent turnout last night...and more importantly, it seemed like everyone really got a lot of solid information out of the program, had some laughs (there was a representative from the Peace Corps who went into detail about the lack of certain Western amenities in the area where he was stationed....such as toilet paper!!), and got to fill their bellies in the meantime! All in all, a wonderful evening if I do say so myself!
