>> The most significant advice that I could offer would be for a student that's
about to graduate, no matter if it's business school or a master's degree or undergrad,
is to try to refine what it is you're looking for.
And maybe boil it down to three, four or five sort of career paths.
Try to network within organizations that represent those career paths.
And then talk to somebody like myself, just to gather information
to understand is this something for me.
And by the way, if I were to work at this particular organization,
are there mentorship opportunities?
So it doesn't have to be just an exact, specific training program that they have to offer,
but there should, at the bare minimum, be someone at the organization that's willing
to invest time in getting to know you and helping you grow within that industry.
I think that's critical.
So laying that groundwork.
Finding someone that can kind of take you under their wing is going to be important.
And if you have a good foundation within whatever business that you're involved with,
then once you get good enough then you kind of rely on your softer skills,
like your instincts and your relationship skills.
