“I enjoyed the informational interview the most, being able to talk to someone who’s currently working a job that I’m interested in was eye opening and very insightful.”

“Getting paired with a mentor who was in food science and transitioned into a sales/marketing related role, it made me think more openly about the directions I might take, and I gained a lot of interpersonal skills from his advice.”
