Today’s guest is Alyson Beland. Alyson is a career coach here at the Purdue CCO. As a career coach, she advises students and alumni on a variety of career development and job search strategies. Alyson is on the show today because we are discussing how to make the most of your summer in terms of professional development and career fair prep. Come August, those fall career fairs will sneak up on us quicker than we realize, and we need to make sure we have our resumes, letters of rec, and interview confidence ready to go! And for those who have summer internships, Alyson will be giving advice on how to make the most out of your opportunity, how to network with your company, and what skills you should specifically be expecting to grow in. Without further ado, here’s my conversation with Alyson.
