Faith Orisakwe, a Public Health and Business major from the University of Rochester learned about CareerSpring through our Education Partner, EMERGE, is an Advisee who understands that there are so many different ways #FGLI students can tap into our resources. As a first-generation student with career goals focusing in the business sector, Faith wanted to feel prepared for any opportunity that may come her way. With this in mind, she scheduled a Consultation with a Candidate Coach. Faith shared, “My experience with my Candidate Coach, Susan M., was incredibly positive. She helped me with interview preparation and provided invaluable advice on how to effectively share my story with recruiters and interviewers. Susan’s supportive and insightful guidance boosted my confidence and encouraged me to reflect on areas for growth as a young professional!” Learn more about Faith’s journey and the support she’s received from CareerSpring at www.CareerSpring.org/news
