Opportunity Knocks: Wisdom from Recent Grads on Jobs & Internships Confirmation
The “Opportunity Knocks: Wisdom from Recent Grads on Jobs & Internships” event, hosted by Lissa Hilsee from Main Line Chamber of Commerce, provided an invaluable opportunity for students to gain insight into the transition from university to the professional world. The event began with a webinar, during which graduates shared their personal journeys. This included how they secured their full-time positions and offering an inside look at the companies they work for. Additionally, the speakers discussed the challenges they faced and the strategies they used to overcome them.
After the webinar, students had the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers and additional representatives through a Q&A session. This interactive portion helped us learn how to prepare for interviews, what recruiters are looking for, and how to prepare for the realities of working in a professional environment. As a student actively searching for an internship and soon a full-time role, I found this event incredibly informative and inspiring. It not only clarified my understanding of what to expect in the business world but also gave me actionable steps to improve my resume, enhance my interview skills, and approach my internship search with greater confidence.
