Meet Yesenia, the Career Development Coordinator at NK ✨ She's passionate about helping students nail their interviews and land their dream jobs. Yesenia finds the greatest joy in hearing students share their excitement or nervousness about interviews—because it means they truly care. "Nothing beats the moment when a student tells me, 'Hey Yesenia, I got the job!' It’s incredibly rewarding to see their hard work pay off." Her top career advice is to "always be courteous, kind, and communicate effectively with everyone you meet in the hiring process." Networking is key! 🗝️ For students, Yesenia advises: "Be yourself, but conduct it in a way that matches the environment you're in; put your best foot forward, be serious when it's time to be, and be respectful, and humble…no one else can be you— give it your all!" With Yesenia's guidance, you'll be unstoppable! 💪 #careerdev #growth #career #advice
