>> Now me getting in sales I coincidentally was a bartender.
I bartended in Penn State.
And that helped.
But whether it was bartending or another job, just getting that work experience
to start to figure out what it takes.
Once you leave college it's a much different world.
And getting those work experiences I think are really invaluable.
I'd also say networking and building your network, whether it's at an alumni event
where you can meet other people whose career paths you might want to mirror,
that is really important as well.
Because then once you get out of school
and you've built this small network that's extremely helpful.
That's actually how I got my first job out of college.
I got a bunch of contacts from a handful of companies,
and Coca-Cola was the one that offered me a job.
But without having started to build that network already it probably would have been a lot
more difficult.
And I would say just sending in your resume for jobs will make it much more difficult.
But it's that email, as a hiring manager it's that extra email that you get for someone
that has already applied for a job that makes them stand out that much more.
And then going through the resume and seeing the work history and experience
that they've had makes them then stand out.
