Hey again! Haha so this third post is about the career fair that John Jay held a couple of weeks ago in the gymnasium at the T Building. After class, I went to check it out. I thought that it was extremely helpful.
I was able to talk to many representatives for different jobs and hear the actual inputs of what employers really look for. Aside from that, many of the jobs were ones that I was extremely interested in because they all had some aspect of the government or criminal justice involved in it. This is perfect for John Jay because we all came here to study a part of criminal justice, and it is perfect for me... because more than half those jobs caught my eye.
I also found some of the jobs interesting as well... by that, I mean that I've never heard of it. One of the tables I talked to was JC Penny. At this table, the man was telling me about the JC Penny Lost Prevention job position. What this job does is that it investigates crimes and thefts that occur in JC Pennies. I never really took the time to think that this was even a part of the company. So this Career Fair made me realize that Criminal Justice is a part of everything and that actually fascinates me because I truly never really thought of it that way.
Even though I wasn't a Junior or Senior (which was the requirement for many of the jobs), I was still able to speak to the representative and ask about some internship opportunities. I applied for the Civilain Complaint Review Board (CCRB) Internship program and I am currently working on my essay for the Criminal Law Internship Program which will take place in Washington D.C. if I get chosen. Wish me luck! This career fair, I can tell, provides many great opportunities for everyone and I wish them all the best in their job search!
I'm not sure when the next one will be, but I do know that John Jay will be holding another career fair in the Spring Semester (in April I think)... So if you all have a chance, make sure you dress up in interview attire and check it out! Hope to see you all there!
