Parmeet's Podcasts

So far, I have conducted extensive research with regards to the pages that I plan on editing/creating. I interned at a Healthcare focused investment bank, where I had the chance to work with a healthcare social networking company. I made a word doc about everything I learned about the company and its effect on the industry, and I plan to incorporate all of this knowledge on the healthcare page on our wiki. Over the past 2.5 years, I've been lucky enough to have interned at 6 different banks/firms, and have experienced 50+ interviews during this time. These experiences have allowed me to develop a strategy towards recruitment. I plan on sharing these strategies and a list of do's and don'ts as well on the recruitment page. As was evidenced by my term paper, media is my favorite sector when it comes to business. I conducted extensive research on podcasting for my term paper, and have in the past made presentations about the rapidly evolving video streaming market. I pl...

File sharing is the act of sharing one or more files. These files exist on our computers and can be sent over a computer network and shared with someone in the same house, a team member at work, a friend in another country, or ourselves so that we can access your files from anywhere. The term P2P refers to peer-to-peer networking. On a peer-to-peer network, computer hardware and software communicate without the need for a server. P2P file sharing is used by file-sharing software clients. P2P technology helps P2P clients upload and download files over the P2P network services. Wendy Kaufman's article on npr  talks about P2P lending, which allows customers to secure lower interest rates for loans when compared to traditional loan providers. The articles states that "The system works like this: Investors put up the money to fund the loans; typically they'll have pieces of hundreds, even thousands of loans which are ranked according to risk. An investor's rate of retur...

Most of the new media platforms allow hundreds, if not thousands, of people to view our pictures and life updates through Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter. What happens sometimes, specially with teenagers, is that they tend to post or write something that might be explicit. This leads to someone on their social media sharing that post, which leads to embarrassment or worse, bullying. As users of these platforms, we tend to blames the likes of Mark Zuckerberg when there's news of Facebook selling user data to third-party platforms but we forget that we aren't helping our case by sharing more than we should be sharing. Users tend to disclose their locations, credit card information, employment information, and family relations on these platforms. It is correct to say that social media isn't conducive to confidentiality, but we aren't helping ourselves by avoiding a risk-averse approach.

It is unfortunate that students tend to encounter a lot of problems with Baruch's infrastructure and resources due to the lack of funding available to CUNY schools. However, with the bright talent that is present on campus, there are several ways for creative minds to use new media to improve the student experience. Being a fan of podcasts, I would make a proposal to The Ticker  at Baruch to launch a weekly podcast. This podcast could revolve around topics such as academic/professional advice for students, alumni experiences and interviews with faculty who've had a relationship with Baruch for longer than a decade. Additionally, I would make Twitter a platform for Baruch's administration and student body to interact. Students would benefit by having a discussion around the problems they face, while the college's administration can give regular updates about new projects, and have a weekly Q/A session with Baruch students. Baruch does already have a profile on Twi...
