>> I would encourage them to do what I didn't do,
and that's take on as many internship opportunities,
job shadow opportunities as they can.
Attend a lot of informational sessions with companies they might be interested in.
Talk to a lot of people at those organizations.
Get a feel for the culture.
Just start early on building up their resume, getting that experience and exposure so that way
when they come out, they have a better understanding of what they really want
to pursue long term versus having to work for different companies
like I've had to do in my career thus far.
I'd say for this role, you have to be very self-motivated.
You have to have strong time management skills.
You have to be ready for the unforeseen and unpredictable circumstances.
Tough questions that come your way.
You know, I speak to hundreds of people in a given week, literally,
and you can imagine the different types of questions I get.
You just have to be always thinking on your feet,
quick to the draw, and just expect the unexpected.
I'd say that's the skill set, it's hard to learn that, but you just learn
that over time with experience and exposure.
