-: So I recommend doing a coordinator or a clerical position,
if you can, and then moving your way into that.
'Cause I think I got lucky
with the position just being open.
And I happened to meet the requirements.
Another thing that I would say is,
major in something business-related.
I specifically did human resources development,
which you can do, I think they still have that at CHD.
Even so, I think Carlson has a certificate program
in something related to that.
Definitely, I would say, don't limit yourself.
'Cause really, you can make anything work.
I also minored in public health.
You could fit that in, too.
I know for a lot of students,
you can put any internship
experiences that you have, like I did.
Any huge classwork presentations that you did,
you can reference on your resume.
'Cause these are things that they're making you do anyway,
through your major, so you might as well
be proud of that work.
For example I know one of my finals was to create
a training and development
manual, if you will, for a company,
and during my interview, I spoke about that.
So that's what I mean by, "Don't limit yourself."
You don't always have to think about the traditional
where candidates with ten plus years of experience,
that's not always the case.
Put your scholarships down there.
Put what else you do on there.
What always stands out to me,
aside from the experience, surprisingly,
is their compassion.
You wanna be passionate about what you do.
You really want to be.
In my job, you deal with people a lot.
I know people probably think
you sit behind a desk and all that, but you don't.
You deal with a lot of people,
in different phases of their life.
Going through retirement, just got married,
a death in their family,
you literally will deal with it all.
And you have to be able to have compassion for people
and the situations that they're in.
