This interview is loaded with practical tips in just 23 short minutes: 

We discuss the most important thing about choosing a major and how to pick classes (hint: it's about doing what you enjoy so you learn how to show up and commit yourself to a goal).

How Nicole's first job allowed her to be independent and develop confidence and self-reliance. 

How she got into advertising at a top firm in New York City, ultimately landing a role at Google.

How Nicole prepared for her interviews at Google and how being able to articulate her previous experience in a way that directly translated to the role she was interviewing for helped her stand out.
