Jay Kodeswaran has accepted our return offer. What a relief! Over his internship, Jay has become a residential expert in many domains. He is an essential part of our team. How does he become so important as a new grad? It's simple: Jay has the knowledge and the experiences. The requirement is the same for everyone, whether you are an undergrad, a graduate student, a PhD, or a senior employee at big tech. To be effective in a job, you need knowledge and experience. There is a path to get that knowledge and experience -- more internships. Jay walks through his example and demonstrates that it's possible to do many internships over four years in college. The extra benefit of doing many internships is to learn what you like and dislike early on, which is probably one of the most important factors of long-term career success.

☀Three Lessons I learned from my Summer Student   Serendipitously, I had the good fortune of being paired with a phenomenal summer intern, Priyanka Rao, a 2nd year Applied Math and Computer Engineering Student at Queen's University. Here are three lessons I learned.   Be Like Water – I witnessed Bruce Lee’s famous quote in real time. Just flow. When faced with a new task, when bumping up against a brick wall, when needing to pivot at the drop of a hat, she masterfully did it with ease.   Creativity meets Engineering – Strengths in digital, data, and design, she had it all. Be it fresh ideas for my 212 Financial Literacy Series, or teaching me about algorithms, automation and technological application, she brought innovation to the team.   Laugh More – Similar to an undergraduate degree in Applied Math and Computer Engineering, navigating through the ever-evolving investment landscape, conducting research daily, and building portfolios for clients requires attention to detail, analytical skills, and strong technical knowledge. Regardless of the task at hand she taught me to bring a good dose of daily endorphins to everything we do.   I thank my lucky stars to have had the opportunity to work with such an impressive young lady. My heart is full❤️ #financialliteracy #investments #financialplanning #privatewealth #wealthmanagement

You’ve chosen a graduate program, read up on tips for applying, and have your resumé ready. But you may have left the most daunting part of the application process for last—writing a statement of purpose.

Criteria or rejection? Last month, I applied for a summer school program. I was super excited but shortly after applying for the program, I received a mail stating that my application was not shortlisted. So, I thought maybe they are just bias how would they reject my application after all the effort and explaining? But after reading through the mail twice, something struck me criteria, or should I say CITERIA. And the mail stated I can opt for feedback so I did like wise, and inquired well the response was shocking. And here's my lesson from this; 1. Sometimes applications are not rejected because you are not qualified but because you didn't meet the criteria or in other terms instructions. 2. When applying for something and you have been given statements like for example explain in 100 words or 200 words follow that. 3.And always aim to answer the questions. For example what's your motivation for applying?(explain in 30 words). Explain in exactly 30 words. 4.Add necessary details such that the person reviewing your application is able learn about you through it. 5. Research about the people offering you that application, or what is expected of you to be shortlisted. 6. Be open-minded to feedback So sometimes, we are not rejected because we don't have it or eligible but because we don't demonstrate enough, of how we align to be shortlisted. And though I didn't make it to the program I got feedback that answers why I got rejections after doing certain applications. And yes I'll definitely apply for the next summer school program because I now know the criteria. *picture for illustration purposes.

I highly recommend STEM majors applying for the Colorado Science and Engineering Policy Fellowship. This fellowship was one of the most important experiences of my education. #stem #scienceandtechnology #policychange #engineering
