What did you do in undergrad to set you up for success in your career?
When you're in college, doing the little things and doing the right things can make a big difference. This includes getting an internship.
If you're going to business school or another advanced program, focus on things that apply to your desired career. Make sure you complete all the necessary prerequisites.
These steps help set you up for success in getting a job. If you're not doing them, someone else is, and they will likely get the position.
No one else will look out for you or secure that job for you. It's important to do the small things and ensure you are setting yourself up for success.
