College Student Panels Reflection

Useful things I learnt from the College Student Talk last Wednesday

Notes:

  • communication is key, don’t be afraid to open up
  • talk to a lot of people to gain communication skills and make them recognize your skills
  • talk like a techie, try to show the person you’re talking with that you have knowledge in the subject
  • in internships and jobs, they focus on experience, so it is crucial to have a lot of experience
  • be broad-minded in general
  • don’t shy away, you miss opportunities that way
  • focus on the most important things in your resume, that helps you stand out
  • meet up with the right people to kickstart your career

Things I should do:

  • network more actively with peers in CS and STEM
  • start opening up, don’t be shy
  • build professional contacts
  • build my own website to showcase achievements
  • practice building resumes so that it will be easy in the future
  • seek out for opportunities like research and internships
