-: My first job, I applied a ton.
I applied everywhere.
I was actually doing an internship in Illinois
with Hormel Foods.
It was food manufacturing.
I didn't wanna wait to get a job offer from them
because nothing's guaranteed.
I actually used the professional organizations
that I was in, NSBE, society of engineers,
the Society of Women Engineers.
I went onto their national websites.
They have a list of different companies
that are recruiting from those organizations,
and I just copy and pasted,
went to every career site
and applied online, oddly enough.
I got a call back.
It took about six months, but I landed my first job
at General Mills in Vineland, New Jersey.
I was a process engineer
for their soup manufacturing process.
