Opportunity Knocks: Wisdom from Recent Grads on Jobs & Internships
This event was very helpful and engaging! The recent graduates, Amanda Abrohms, Gabriela Scanga, Joseph Ferenchiak, and Alicia Torres gave amazing insight and advice on what can make a person stand out when looking for a job after college. They mentioned things like keeping your resume updated at all times, staying in touch with your network, attend events, send follow up emails after an interview, job shadowing, and more. I personally learned and realized that the job market is very competitive and doing the extra work to make yourself stand out will always be worth it. The host, Vibha Agrawal did a great job at asking good questions and giving students to a chance to speak to as well. I enjoyed the event and even found it helpful that our resume was sent to employers to allow us to get exposure.
