Career Blog

On October 19th, I decided to go to the Careers in Start-Up workshop. When I walked into the room, there were already plenty of people sitting down as well as lined up to sign in. I was waiting in line with Emily, curious of how my experience will be like. After signing in, we sat all the way in the back, waiting for the speakers to start. The twin speakers Vadim and Sergei Revzin introduced themselves and started engaging us in what we know about start ups. As they were talking, they were also showing a lengthy slideshow to divert our attention to what they were talking about. Their experiences and life stories of their own start up and struggles was pretty interesting. It gave me an idea of a possible choice for my future. Overall, I think that building a company from scratch is hard but the effort builds up and can eventually bring me somewhere. They also talked about jobs and how to obtain one as well as foundation skills of jobs. They discussed that networking is helpful and being prepared to interviews is beneficial. I have learned a lot from the workshop and may take part in opportunities.
