A New Team Member Joins the Fray

Starting this week, Sheena and I are going to be begin working with an intern who will be working for free. She is a sophomore at the NYU Stern School of Business and is a perfect match. She has worked at Merill Lynch for the past two years and a lot of her family is involved in the education field. Although we met her at the NYU Career Fair, she had purchased the book before hand, which was a very good sign!

Although, we had received over 30 resumes at the career fair of people who were interested in an internship, she was the only one we decided to interview. Looking at resumes from an employer perspective, differentiation is key! Since most people had a good GPA and some work experience, these didn't differentiate applicants. We were looking for people who stood out and it felt like all the resumes just blended together. Going through hundreds of resumes and picking the ones to follow up with must be difficult.
