>> So I would say, if you want to become a campus recruiter, you would want to be versed
in business and in higher education.
So my master's degree is in higher education management.
And I think that was really the best training that I had,
because I understand how students interact with, you know, other students.
They interact with their professors.
They interact with, you know, professionals like myself in the working world.
You just understand how they develop.
So I think that having an understanding
of student development theory is really crucial in a campus recruiting role.
I would also say just get involved on campus.
Get to know as many people as you possibly can and network yourself.
I believe that a big part of the reason I have my job is because I was bold
and I literally called up a campus recruiter and asked her what she did.
And I wanted to know about how she got into her job.
And she fed me the same information that I'm giving you, that you have to get yourself known.
You have to network yourself as much as you can.
And ultimately when the time came for a position to open, I was able to work my way
into that position because somebody knew me.
So I would say network.
You know, it's not so much about the experiences that you have is it is about the people
that you know and how you present yourself to them.
So make a great first impression and just keep in touch with people.
