Hi Everyone!

I'm Shelly and one of the other Career Peers at the Career Center. It's been a pretty busy semester so far, with classes and job searches. I think the most important thing I've been trying to figure out is what exactly I want to do exactly with my life, and that sometimes changes everyday. I have so many interests, ranging from healthcare, consulting, finance, marketing, and food sciences. I always see these cool and interesting jobs on eRecruiting and everytime I talk to a recruiter, either at information sessions, job fairs, or interviews, I get excited about the positions offered! I'd love to work in Chicago, but there are definitely times when I dream about working in cool places like London, Hong Kong, Alaska (bear hunting, anyone?), and everywhere in between.
I think the main thing I've learned so far is just to be open minded to all opportunities and you never know what you'll end up loving! It's always great to talk to recruiters and Wash U alum and ask them about their own career paths. And, as always, the Career Center is here to help in anyway we can! Good luck :)
