This close-up into the world of investment banking really allowed me to get a better understanding of how deals are carried out, helped me with interpersonal skills, and gave me the motivation and endurance to be even more prepared for my internship with Citigroup this summer.
As an industrial engineering major, I was able to build a resume highlighting my entrepreneurial experiences through Paragon One and craft a narrative around where I wanted to go. You can tell your story, no matter what background you have.
I wanted to broaden my options after graduation, so the SEO and Content creation externship was a great opportunity for me to get my feet wet and understand more about what goes into creating content and deciding who gets to see that content.
