Transcript
What did you do in undergrad to set you up for success?
I did everything I could to build experience so that I could differentiate myself and get a good first job in a city where I wanted to live. So I worked a full-time remote internship at Business Home Group for two years.
I also worked as a server to help pay for school. I was enrolled in [unclear] classes and then I joined the marketing club and sales club. I was also in Greek life.
On top of that, I picked up a finance minor to help differentiate myself during the hiring process.
