In one week, I’m starting my full-time Product Manager role at Microsoft! 🥳

With 7 days left until I start, here are 7 of my biggest career lessons I learned throughout college that helped me get to this point ⬇️

✅ Making your work visible to others during your internships is just as important as delivering high-quality work.

✅ Don’t just list out your responsibilities on the experience section of your resume. Describe and quantify your impact.

✅ Before any internship interview, always set up a coffee chat with at least one former intern so you know how to prepare.

✅ Ask others for feedback on a problem, but be prepared with your own solution first (i.e. “I was thinking X could solve Y because Z...what are your thoughts?”).

✅ Sometimes it’s not what you say, but how you say it. Improving your energy, storytelling skills, and public speaking can go a long way.

✅ Fully fill out all sections of your LinkedIn profile to optimize your search-ability for potential InMail invites from recruiters.

✅ Be proactive, but be patient. Sometimes the one opportunity you want is on the other side of hundreds of rejections, ghostings, and failures.

🚀 P.S. Want to land your dream internship at a Big Tech company?

Apply to Student to Big Tech, a private community where you’ll get direct mentorship from me, weekly coaching calls, and a support system of early career individuals who are just as motivated as you to land a spot at a Fortune 500 company.
