- [00:00:15.300]Hi, my name is Luiza Benvenuti
- [00:00:17.200]and I'm a senior majoring in psychology from Brazil.
- [00:00:20.510]As soon as I got to college,
- [00:00:21.840]my decision to be so far away from my family
- [00:00:24.070]was accompanied by the pressure
- [00:00:26.100]of being successful in my future career.
- [00:00:28.360]Because otherwise why did I choose to come so far, right?
- [00:00:32.380]During my first semester,
- [00:00:33.610]I was lost about what I wanted to get involved with,
- [00:00:36.110]but I knew I wanted to start working
- [00:00:38.340]and gaining experience somewhere on campus.
- [00:00:40.970]The first job I applied for
- [00:00:42.480]was a front desk position in a residence hall.
- [00:00:45.180]I did not know how to write a resume
- [00:00:47.150]or prepare for an interview,
- [00:00:48.570]so you can imagine how well that went.
- [00:00:50.880]Long story short, I did not get the job.
- [00:00:53.680]So I decided to swallow my pride,
- [00:00:55.250]go to Career Services and get some help.
- [00:00:58.350]During my appointment, I was nervous
- [00:01:00.350]because I thought I had nothing to add to my resume.
- [00:01:03.170]I had only worked as an English tutor back in Brazil
- [00:01:05.970]and there was nothing to be involved with in my high school.
- [00:01:09.430]However, the career coach I was meeting at the time
- [00:01:11.760]started asking more in-depth questions
- [00:01:13.390]about my experiences and the skills I might have used,
- [00:01:16.910]improved and developed on those.
- [00:01:19.210]By the end of the appointment,
- [00:01:20.360]I was amazed by the number of transferrable skills
- [00:01:22.740]we were able to identify
- [00:01:24.330]from the small number of experiences I had.
- [00:01:27.160]That wow moment I experienced at the time
- [00:01:29.690]was something I wanted to proportionate to other students,
- [00:01:32.670]so by crafting my resume in a way
- [00:01:34.530]to show what I had to offer
- [00:01:37.300]and learning how to prepare for interviews,
- [00:01:40.010]I was able to land a job as a peer career guide
- [00:01:42.500]at Career Services office.
- [00:01:44.540]Career Services is also a free service to students,
- [00:01:47.900]so if you're struggling to find a job,
- [00:01:50.300]craft your resume, cover letter,
- [00:01:52.150]or prepare for an interview,
