What advice do you have for students during their job search?
"Start applying early and apply to many. Don’t be discouraged if what seems like your dream job doesn’t work out, as something will, and it may be a better fit anyway. Be open to many types of roles, and don’t be afraid to try something new or take on responsibility."
