Customer Reviews
Super helpful!
easy on the go way to get the info you need!
Great podcast for college students!
Informative and fun to listen to!
so helpful!
Going to career fairs is always so intimidating and confusing to navigate. The career fair podcast sheds light on a lot of questions I've had as a student and it's so helpful to hear what recruiters like to hear and see. Definitely not something that covered in a classroom setting so it's super helpful to hear these important questions covered. Love this series and hope to see more podcasts on how to navigate the career world.
