We’ll be real with you…hiring a summer student isn’t a “quick” “no work” option - there’s some time and effort requirements to mentor, train, and support them - but there are many ways that hiring a summer student can benefit your company! 1 - Getting a summer student for a few months is an inexpensive way to audition talent. It’s like a long-term interview! 2 - While they may be more inexperienced, you’ll get value for less money - a full or part time salary is often more expensive than a summer coop. 3 - You have the chance to make a good impression for your company. Students talk about their experiences and making sure that you’re top of the list as a “great place to work” will allow you to choose the best candidates when you do go to hire! (AND, for future summer student positions!) 4 - Providing a place students come and learn real hands-on skills is a good look for your business! Strengthening your alliance with educators and faculty members could provide valuable partnerships for future hiring efforts! Thinking about hiring summer students? Already have them coming but want to create an incredible experience for them? We have lots of ideas and suggestions - let’s chat!

Companies that treat you like family are doing you a disservice. I have seen many companies preach that they treat their employees like family. And if that were the case, we wouldn’t have been as successful this year as we were. These are some of my teammates at Opny Career. Don’t get me wrong, I love them, and we have one of the best company cultures I have seen. But if we treated each other like family, we would tolerate many things below our standards. If we want to be the best at what we do, we can’t accept that. If we want to help over a thousand international students land their dream jobs this year, we can’t accept that. If we want to change not only their lives but their whole families, we can’t accept that. Instead of looking for a family at work, look for a company that treats you like a professional athlete. So, this coming year, think about this when looking for your next position. It will only help you grow (in the best way possible). Trust me. Have you experienced anything like this on a previous job? Would love to hear about them.

"Linda, we all know you're smart. You don't have to prove anymore!" I cried in class thinking about what my friend Lorena Basulto told me after my Apple interview. Chau Le had to bring me to the bathroom to wipe my tears. I'm sure many students in class wondered if the Operating Systems class was that hard, that I cried 😆 Before my Apple interview, I already received multiple offers. But I never felt enough. I still didn't feel like I was "smart" enough, or "technical" enough. So I kept applying and kept stressing myself out, for no reason at all. Lorena's reminder that I didn't have to prove anything anymore made me feel relieved. Yes, that's right! I was lucky enough to get great offers. I should enjoy myself, right? I should celebrate my success! From a confused sophomore with 0 leadership, 0 internship experience, 0 on-campus jobs, and 0 driver's license 😭, I now have them all! Thank you, Lorena, for reminding me to take a moment and appreciate how far I've come. And thank you, Chau, for being there when I needed. To anyone reading this, please remember to take a step back and recognize your achievements. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and forget to appreciate what you’ve accomplished. Take a moment to celebrate your wins, big or small. You’ve earned it. We don’t have to prove ourselves to anyone. We are enough. #Gratitude #CareerJourney #CelebrateSuccess #MentalHealth #SupportSystem #SelfAcceptance #YouAreEnough #AppreciateTheJourney

As some of you may know, over a month ago, I made the tough decision to step away from the career I thought I was going to be in for the rest of my life (kidding, but not). Georgia Tech will always hold a special place in my heart, as it was my first "big girl job" and the first time I moved to a city where I knew no one... but came out with so much more than I could have ever expected. I was able to grow in a multitude of ways...both personally and professionally. I worked my way to assistant director, leading a team of advisors and overseeing a few Olympic sports, watching them have success in the classroom and athletically. I even got to represent Tech at a national conference and present to my peers. Coworkers became friends. My "board of directors" grew exponentially each year. Atlanta even brought me to my person, who I will be getting married to in less than a month. There were ups, and there were downs. I found myself falling out of love with the job I felt so passionate about just years ago. I wondered what was wrong, and why did I start to hate something I once loved so much? I wanted to explore other options or career paths, but I kept asking myself, "What else would I even want to do?" and "Did I do this all for nothing?" It felt like because I worked so hard to get myself to this position (the master's degree, the numerous internships for not much money, etc.), I can't quit now. But, finally, I had to come to terms with the fact that I did not do it for nothing. On the contrary, as I left the industry with skills I did not have going in. I am more confident in myself and what I provide as an employee, a coworker, and a leader. Now, I am working with my fiance and building a real estate investment portfolio. Something I never saw in the cards, but I had to take the leap of faith into the unknown to continue growing. I hope this resonates with someone who may be feeling like they are letting themselves down by taking a new path that maybe was not present before. Trust in yourself and trust that everything will work out the way it is supposed to... because you will keep working hard so failing isn't an option.

One in three Class of 2022 graduates were hired directly by their co-op employer. It’s no coincidence. Industry sees something special in Wentworth students. Learn how you can benefit from hiring a Wentworth co-op for your organization: https://lnkd.in/dwYuxvaa
