Opportunity Knocks: Wisdom from Recent Grads on Jobs & Internships
This webinar was sponsored by The Main Line Chamber of Commerce where recent graduates provided insight into the process of getting an internship or full tine job. In the first part of the webinar, the speakers talked about how they got into their current roles and they gave advice of how to get the job you really want. Then we were given the opportunity to be in a Zoom meeting with other employers and everyone else who was attending the webinar. We were then broken into breakout groups and able to ask employers questions and learn about some tips and tricks to use throughout the job application process. From this event, I learned that some best practices for finding internships or jobs are building a strong network, keep an open mind, and don’t be afraid to explore different options. Something else that stuck with me was the speakers mentioned staying in touch with past employers whether it’s for job opportunities or for recommendations.
