What advice do you have for students during their job search? 

"Be intentional and proactive in your search, and take full advantage of networking opportunities as early as you can. Don’t be afraid to ask for help either. Seek guidance from professors, alumni, and classmates because people want to help if they can, but you have to ask. Most importantly, focus on developing transferable skills and a strong work ethic. Technical knowledge can be taught, but those qualities are what truly differentiate you and make an impact."
