>> I think one of the best things that, that a student or an individual looking
for a potential career to do is to do informational interviews.
I, you know, I can't stress that enough.
I think to go in, not looking for a job, but to go in asking what that individual does,
what that institution does that the individual works for and to get a real understanding
of that, to ask questions of what that individual would do if they were
in your position as again either a student, a young adult looking for a career,
and what type of skills those individuals are doing in their jobs,
and having as many informational interviews as you can because if you, 1, you'll really,
really learn what may be of interest to you that you never thought was of interest to you,
and more importantly, I think you get in front of individuals who see you,
see the talents that you have, and if a position opens up, you know,
that individual will most likely think of you and what you did in the informational interview
and say, Hey, I may have a position, I may have an individual job that may make sense for you.
So I, I really encourage people to step out of their shell, go out, take,
ask somebody for 30 minutes of their time just to get some information on them
and their company so they can help make a better decision about their career.
