A few weeks ago I attended the start up fair co sponsored by Tamid group and Hillel. The start up fair was a fantastic opportunity to network with members of start up companies. The networking allowed me to explore working options I can have down the road. Some of the start up members gave me their business card and encourage me to reach out to them in the near future. Many of the companies were technology based. This opportunity also showed me the importance of a resume. I did not bring copies and therefore felt like I was at a disadvantage. In the future I will make sure to have resumes available at similar events. This wonderful event also allowed me to interact with other students with similar interests. These connections can be valuable when sharing experiences. Additionally there was a panel consisting of eight start up founders that informed the audience how to be successful in the start up and entrepreneurial world. I also noted that many of the start up members were interested in character. They noted that a positive attitude, charisma and patience were vital in the start up world just as much as a high IQ score. Overall this career experience should propel me to succeed in the future.
