Best Career Advice: Start early! Resumes, online profiles, and interests change and evolve over time. However, if you begin the career planning process early enough- you will be prepared for any bends in the river. You will be aware of the types of work environments you perform best in as well as how to showcase yourself in prime light to future employers. The earlier you start the career planning process, the better off you will be when the time comes for internships and job searching.
Next Steps: Since graduating in December 2013, Taylor has managed a coffee shop, worked in insurance, spent time on a yacht, and now runs her own business.
