I just found out some interesting career facts about the former interns of the von Liebig Center. It looks like I have some big shoes to fill.
1.) McKinsey Consultant
2.) Medical Device Sales
3.) IP Lawyer
4.) Goldman Sachs Analyst
5.) Soon to be millionaire tech guy (IPO)
I think I’m doing a good job here, but it’s a good thing much of the staff is also relatively new to the center to keep those expectations in check. =D
Networking has been paying off lately. I’m learning the play the role of ambitious, non-intimidating, vulnerable and mold-able student that successful business people like to be around. After going to a lot of these networking functions you start to get comfortable and things start to happen. I’ve got a couple of informational interviews set up over the next couple weeks. Though I wouldn’t really call them interviews. They’re more networking, get to know you, career guidance, mentee/mentor type deals. I think this will help my career. At the very least, I’ll meet some people and practice my professional skills because I need it. Here’s some stuff to consider for info interviews.
