"Career prep and internships helped me immensely in obtaining my job at my city’s public library. With my career prep, I learned exactly what employers want in a prospective employee, how to have a perfect resume and LinkedIn profile, and how to ace an interview. I also learned what my interests were in, which guided me to the library. All of my internships were at [FSU’s] Whittemore Library, and they helped prepare me for working in a library doing social media and digital humanities work, experience I’m forever grateful for."

"This scholarship program completely changed not only my college life but also my professional one. By starting career preparation in my freshman year, I was able to practice professionalism numerous times before I really needed to. This meant that when I finally did start applying for jobs and internships, I felt extremely prepared and confident since I knew exactly what I should do. This helped me get a job right after college and walk into an interview knowing that I did everything I possibly could to prepare. Finally, I just felt ready to enter the workforce right after college because this program gave me all the tools I needed to be successful."This scholarship program completely changed not only my college life but also my professional one.
