Microsoft S2B @ STI College Makati

Another invite from STI College-Makati for the fourth week of September to talk on their topic, “To Seek or to Create Employment.” Originally I tapped Ms. Mellie Valimento, the Academic Program Specialist from Microsoft to be the speaker of the said event but due to conflict of schedule the task was passed to me since I’m also a Microsoft Student Partner of the said school.

September 29, 2011, the day of event, I was just expecting around 40 attendees as mentioned by the student organizer during our last communication. I was surprised when they moved the venue to the school’s amphitheater since we have around 200 participants.

I gave my best to discuss the topic, on what the graduating students will expect after their graduation and what they can do to have good credentials in applying for their first job. After the talk I’m expecting questions that are related to the topic but the students asked me more on Microsoft technologies, like which is better OS, best antivirus and the likes.

Apparently, the most of the IT students doesn’t know yet what career path to pursue after graduation. The topic gave them lots of ideas on how they shall proceed after graduation.
