I’m a senior at UIC and the founder of Career Podium. Career Podium is an interactive platform that young professionals can use to connect to employers. The purpose of our platform is to attract passionate candidates to employers. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and reading non fiction books to improve as a person.
Being the founder of Career Podium is my first time as a leader. Prior to Career Podium, I was shy and never took the chance to put myself out there. I was always afraid of hearing no, that it limited my potential. To add to that, I was rejected from over 50 different companies last summer. The reason I didn't have any confidence was because I didn't know what I was passionate about. With Career podium, I now have something that allows for me to wake up everyday with energy. Throughout my talk, I would like to share my journey, and how I was able to help guide Career Podium to where it is today.
