Listen as they describe how this experience shaped their career goals, leading them away from traditional “linear routes” or “safety options” toward a future in entrepreneurship and technology-driven industries. They share how their professional communication and design skills “skyrocketed” while learning to meet the needs of real customers and maintain brand standards.
Tune in for honest reflections, laughter, and vital advice for students stepping into their own professional journeys, including the importance of pushing past comfort zones and maintaining a strong work ethic even when tasks get difficult.
