Mock Interviews
The Youth Chamber
hosted the 2nd Annual Mock
Interviews event in
order to promote professional development, helping our members practice their
interviewing skills that will later help them be hired. With over 15
professionals in the fields of insurance, education, banking and entertainment,
Youth Chamber members had the opportunity to polish their interviewing skills
and hear feedback from recruiters on what they are looking for during an
interview. In addition, Verizon Wireless provided members with very useful do's
and don'ts of what to do before, during, and after job
interviews. Lastly, students were able to take advantage of the
career services representatives who gave great feedback to students' regarding
their resumes and cover letters, in addition to other helpful resources.

Winter Mixer
With over fifty
attendees, the 2nd Annual Youth Chamber mixer was a success. Students from
CSUF, UCI, surrounding colleges and local high schools had the opportunity to
put in practice the skills learned from previous roundtables. We were glad to
have sponsors Verizon and State Farm attend this event as well. The night
began by introducing this year's scholarships, internships, and board member
positions available, and it ended with a memorable raffle at which students
received prices that ranged from sponsor's goodie bags, to gifts cards, to
laser printers. Thanks to this networking event, recent
graduate Martin Mendez
secured a job with
Verizon Wireless.

Financial Literacy
As
the 2012 calendar year was coming to an end, we hosted our Financial Literacy
workshop on December 7th. We had our strategic partner -
Ernst&Young's very own David Molina discuss the importance of financial
literacy. Topics included how to manage debt, how to increase your net worth,
as well as personal investment strategies. There was also a very interactive
Q&A portion, which allowed students to receive more financial insight
specific to them.
