-: For sure.
So, the funny part is, I studied hospitality management
at WCTC and there's a lot of transferrable skills
in that and I think that's why I do so well
in the position that I'm in.
You have to be on your feet in hospitality.
You have to know how to work with multiple personalities,
or different personalities.
There is a fast paced environment to the job,
and there's also the need to manage your time wisely.
When I was here at CTC, we focused a lot on
the disc profile and understanding the personalities
and catering to the people that come on into the job
when you're hiring, or whatever.
And those are still things that I carry on as one of
the other things I do in my current position,
which is helping hire candidates and doing
the phone screenings.
There are things where I find myself going back
to what I was being taught here.
I would say start networking now.
I would say that any project that you work on,
even as frustrating as it may seem, put it
in your back pocket so you can bring it to an interview
and discuss how you collaborated
with different team members.
Keep tabs of everything that you're involved in in school.
And if you're not involved and you prefer just coming
on campus and leaving, I would encourage you
to get involved so that when you get into an interview,
you can talk about those soft skills.
You can talk about those experiences
and show employers what value you add for the company
of what value you can bring.
Resumes no longer benefit if there's no value add.
So, as a candidate, it's really important to do that
and you can do that while you're in school.
