I found listening to the speakers at the embassy and the ACG office of sustainability very interesting. All the speakers gave great advice for entering the real world after college and were insightful in how to become a diplomat. I enjoyed how the diplomat was relatable about her journey of achieving the position she has now. Considering I still do not know exactly what I want to do yet, it was relieving to hear that she dealt with the same feelings when she was my age. As I enter my junior year of college, I feel I need to start getting ahead on my plans for after college. This has been stressing me out a lot lately but after hearing her presentation I feel like I can slow down because I have time.  When we asked her for advice on entering the business world after college she replied with just to never stop giving up on yourself and work hard. This seemed like a basic and cliche answer. However when she gave examples of how this advice applied to her work life, I truly believed her. In addition, she mentioned that when it comes to getting a job, it’s all about who you know. She discussed how she used to message everyone and anyone she knew to help get herself an internship. The speaker explained that when reaching out to people she was interested in working for, she would find one thing she had in common with them. Once she found one thing, even if it was something really random she would open with that in her message. I felt this technique seemed a little strange, but when she explained how it really worked multiple times I was shocked. I think when it comes time for me to get an internship/job I will try this out for myself. I am glad I got to learn more about her job as I was not very familiar with her duties before. It seemed like there were multiple benefits that came with her job. I think if I ever wanted to work abroad I would consider doing something similar.
