This has to have been one of my favorite events I've been to at PGCC so far! It was very informational but also engaging, and the audience was very participatory! I also appreciate that we had people to help us guide our decisions throughout the simulation. The organizers were also very thoughtful as they provided us with snacks and drinks! 5/5!

We got to meet candidates for the SGA, also a librarian who clarified AI guidelines at PGCC, and the Vice President of Student Affairs participated in a Q&A.

Resume Writing Workshop: Ms. Wilkins prepared a thorough presentation that went over important information such as formatting your resume, different types of resumes, and the different elements employers look for such as experience, education, skills, and certifications.

This was the third and last virtual career fair. The highlight of this fair for me was getting to learn about the opportunities at Inova! The speaker was very welcoming and answered all of the questions while going through her presentation; my interest in Inova definitely skyrocketed after this career fair.

I tuned into the SGA Townhall and Q&A with the PGCC President. Before the q&a, they had several speakers, one of which talked about how students can learn more about managing finances. President Williams also responded to multiple questions, including concerns about ICE on campuses and reconstruction of Bladen Hall.

This was the first Virtual Career Fair I've been to, it was held by the internships office! There were many employers and companies there (production, finance, education, construction, etc) such as the Cheverly Weekday Nursery and TWLV12 LLC production company. Seeing all the different opportunities across these fields was a little overwhelming but interesting overall!

This impact was for the "Virtual Interviewing Success Tips". Ms. Payne walked us through the importance of a few things to keep in mind for interviews, such as proper attire, behavior, environment, and the STAR method.

I learned we can view the events listed by Special Scholarships as a calendar, which is definitely my preference over the list view. Also learned that you can still add impacts for (some) events you forgot to register for.

This impact is in regards to the "Write it Right: Cover Letter Workshop." Ms. Dyone Payne walked us through the differences between a resume and a cover letter. She also explained different formats we can use to write a cover letter, such as the storyline format and "5 W's" format. She used structural examples and real examples of a cover letter.

Pretty similar to the end of the semester meeting that we had in Dec! The coordinators talked about Givepulse, academic requirements, program requirements, financial aid, etc. Looking forward to this semester :3
