Internship Search

This week in class we talked about looking for internships and future jobs. I am only at the beginning of my internship search, but I was able to use my network to land an interview. A fellow student here at the University of Tulsa, Jack, is also from Kansas City like me. His dad, James, is the Managing Director of the Financial Advisory Services of Kansas City, or FASKC. They are located in Leawood, Kansas which is only a twenty minute drive from my house. I made the connection through Jack and emailed James and inquired about possible internships. I was in luck and they were looking to hire a summer intern, which I set up an interview for. This will be my first big interview with a company, so I will need to prepare this week for possible questions he could ask me. I am looking to get a job as a financial advisor in the future and this could be a great opportunity for me to get my foot in the door with a excellent company. This has been my first lead in my internship search and I plan on continuing my search to ensure I will be able to land a internship this summer. As for the job search, that has not begun for me yet. I am only on my second year out of the four and a half years I have total, so there will be plenty of opportunities to look. If I am able to get an internship with FASKC, that will be a good chance to broaden my network and work with people like James who have been in the field for a long time. Hopefully this interview, which is next Friday, goes well and I can really begin to market myself to the business world! #TUBusinessCareers #GoTU #TUCareerPrep
