Welcome to the fifth episode of the Get This Girl a Job, the podcast that answers your questions about transitioning from college to the professional world by demystifying the post-graduation job search process.
Rosana and I 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.
Being a Mentor in STEM
I had the pleasure of interviewing Lauren Chambers for today’s episode of Get This Girl a Job.
Lauren majored in Astrophysics and African American Studies, graduating from Yale in 2017. She now lives in Baltimore, Maryland and works at the Space Telescope Science Institute. Her many different identities include a scientist, a programmer, and a mentor, focusing much of her college experience on creating inclusive, positive environments for younger students.
Lauren has great advice to share about being a leader as well as finding out what you truly want to do by reflecting on your experiences.
