-: So I think being a business major
and concentrating in accounting and finance
gave me a good basis for me current role.
So, I got started in my company in operations,
and then I kinda moved around jobs.
And that's how I sort of landed in project management.
But I feel like the degree that I had,
and had the background in finance and accounting
really helps me with my current role,
and being able to have substance
when I'm conducting a project.
If you have some free time as a student,
I would recommend taking up a leadership role
or some sort of role in an organization,
on-campus organization,
because I think that really helps you,
especially with a project management role.
Because I was in honor student council, for example,
and on a weekly basis we would hold
these formal meetings with deans.
And I think that really helped me with my current role
'cause we have meetings with senior management,
and we have an agenda to put together.
And I think I learned all of that
through my free time on campus
and being part of these different organizations.
So I would definitely suggest networking.
Getting your foot in a job, you just have to talk to people,
find out what roles are open,
leveraging professors and faculty on campus.
I think that was really helpful to me.
They kind of open up your eyes
to all the different opportunities you can have.
Going to career fairs.
I think asking lots of questions at career fairs,
even if they're not hiring for your specific major,
you can kind of ask and dig around
and get your resume out there.
