Hi, my name is Aliyah and I’m a grad student at Hofstra University. I have a confession to make… until July of 2017, I had no idea what I wanted to do. After finishing four years of undergrad, I spent over a year with a new “plan” every week. I had interests. I had skills. I had experience. Heck, I had a bachelor’s degree! Yet nothing felt right.
Despite not knowing what path to take, what I did know how to do was market myself through great resumes and cover letters, and network with almost anyone. This knowledge aided me in receiving interview requests from more than 50% of the jobs that I’d applied to. In the past two years alone, I received two interview requests and three job offers without even applying at all.
I became very excited by the power of self-promotion and making connections. I believe everyone has experiences that are valuable and applicable, no matter how “unrelated” they may seem. It’s all about putting together your story in the most compelling way. This platform is a resource to help you do this!
