Get This Girl a Job

Campaigns and Communications| S1E2 GTGAJ feat. Chrissy Houle

The second episode of the Get This Girl a Job podcast is finally here! My name is Katie Melbourne, and Rosana and I created this podcast to help answer your questions about transitioning from college to the professional world by demystifying the post-graduation job search.

We interview recent college graduates to talk about the steps they took to get their first job in different industries. The questions follow the development of their career from their first year of college, to how their field of study changed, to the internships they had over the summer, to how they got hired for their very first job! We take turns conducting interviews, and every third week, we co-host a mini-episode answering questions from the audience.

She has lots of good tips on searching for professional opportunities, adapting your plans after unexpected changes, and making your voice heard through political advocacy.
