#CareerTipTuesday📝
Hi! My name is Rani Shah and I'm a junior majoring in Genetics! I’ve been a Career Ambassador (CA) for the Career Development Center for about three semesters now and have loved every minute of it! I'm all about sports, from basketball to baseball to football. Pro sports has always been my favorite, but college sports (especially being a part of the Wolfpack) is a very solid second! On campus, I work in the biochemistry lab and I am also a pharmacy technician at NCSU's Vet Hospital. Bringing it back to the CA program, CA has helped me learn more about myself both professionally and personally through public speaking and meeting/learning about so many different people. It is more than just an ambassadorship, it truly is a family that allows you to flourish in all areas of life, like helping build your own and someone else's career through new opportunities.
Her career tip is, “There are two things I would say, first is to go for everything that interests you! In the beginning of your career some people are afraid to apply to too many things, but it is important to apply to the things that interest you because you will end up with possibilities that you might not have ever thought. Also, realize that many things take time and your opportunity will come to you when you least expect it. Try your hardest in everything you do, but don't beat yourself up over it!”
