QUOTES FROM SHON

  • “I think that was like the first step I took. I actually went all the way through the entire interview process without applying for the job at all.”
  • “I always keep myself open to opportunities, not necessarily like on my profile where recruiters can reach out to me, but if I see a job or see a company that's doing something interesting, I'm always going to like check 'em out a little bit more. Try to form some connections and relationships with people that work there.”
  • “I didn't want to pigeonhole myself into that particular sector knowing that the odds were going to be against me. So I just had to broaden my search to industries I knew were going to hire and like identify different organizations within those industries that were aligned with what I was looking for.”
