"What I learned about being successful in the College of Business and Innovation was networking and preparation. Networking can lead you to land great jobs post-graduation. Preparation will help you be efficient and effective for any challenge that may come your way. My advice to current students is go to the job fair at least once. I gained a mentor from the mock interview session. Thanks to his and COBI’s advice, I was able to obtain my position over 250 other candidates."
