00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:03.600
So I'm a fashion merchandising and

1
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.300
 marketing double major at Dominican University

2
00:00:06.300 --> 00:00:09.900
 and the career development classes really

3
00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:13.500
 helped me fine-tune my professionalism

4
00:00:12.500 --> 00:00:17.000
 my resume, and especially

5
00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:19.900
 my public speaking. The executives

6
00:00:19.900 --> 00:00:22.900
 in residence really work with every

7
00:00:22.900 --> 00:00:26.000
 student individually to help them identify their

8
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.200
 strengths, how to work on their weakness, how

9
00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:31.900
 to explain their weaknesses

10
00:00:31.900 --> 00:00:34.400
 to employers and how they grew from them,

11
00:00:34.400 --> 00:00:38.200
 which is often an interview question. For

12
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.200
 the last career development class for

13
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.400
 our senior year, we compile everything

14
00:00:43.400 --> 00:00:46.300
 we have been working on through our time at

15
00:00:46.300 --> 00:00:49.800
 Dominican into a portfolio website. We

16
00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:52.800
 then invite Dominican faculty and

17
00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:55.200
 staff and potential employers to come look at them and 

18
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.900
 we essentially gave an elevator pitch of

19
00:00:58.900 --> 00:01:00.000
 what was on our

20
00:01:00.300 --> 00:01:03.900
Portfolio and how it contributed to our professional skills,

21
00:01:03.900 --> 00:01:06.100
 which was made to

22
00:01:06.100 --> 00:01:09.200
 help us for the interview process once we

23
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:09.600
 graduate.
