Mario Bravo Jr., Class of 2019
We all need to start somewhere. If an opportunity arises, you should embrace it even if you feel it will be challenging. This will showcase your commitment to continuous learning and professional development. Also, it’s important to have a positive attitude. Employers will take the time to train you. Remember, you may have the skillset, but if you don’t have the right attitude, you won’t go far. Be patient, it takes time to learn. In addition, it’s important to build a strong professional network, which will open new opportunities and collaborations in your field.
If you haven’t already, create your LinkedIn profile and begin growing your professional network. Follow & connect with as many people and businesses as possible in the field you are interested in. You never know when an opportunity will pop up. Lastly, as I said during my commencement speech in 2019, the journey will not be easy, but use the confidence that CW has given you, to guide you through your career!
