It’s that time of the year when we take a break to reflect on our works, achievements, and failures in the past year, and start afresh with new year resolutions!  

This week, we are taking a look at 3 key takeaways echoed in most of the interviews we did with our guests in 2019:  

1. Your academic background from back home is valuable even in the US.  

2. Volunteering and internship opportunities are a great way to get your foot in the door, and this might eventually lead you to possible job opportunities. 

3. It is important to take one step at a time - taking one day at a time - to learn and grow yourself in order to attain your career goals.
