Advice

When all the doors close, find a window. My mentor gave me this advice when I was struggling to find a summer internship. In finding Brady, I went through a little bit more unconventional route. I ended up emailing HR to ask about internship opportunities because I couldn’t find any information on the website. Luckily, Brady had an opening and hired me on the spot when I went in for an interview. Don’t be discouraged, keep trying. Everything works out how it is meant to work out.
