- What is one piece of advice you would give to a fresh graduate job searching? I would tell new graduates that it is important to be patient with yourself. You do not have to have all the answers in place and put so much pressure on yourself, the right job will come to you at the right time.
- What is the hardest part of transitioning into full time work? The hardest part about transitioning is getting your body used to a full-time schedule. In college you have more flexibility with your schedule and every day is different. When you are transitioning to a full time job, your body is shifting into a completely new environment.

I love hearing their feedback after interviews and learning more and more about what my candidate values in their next position.
- What is the most challenging part of this job and how do you overcome this challenge? The most challenging part of the job is allowing your candidate to trust you and the process. Sometimes people are not cooperative and may get frustrated but, I overcome this by allowing myself to be better and remind myself that I am helping my candidates understand our process so in the end I can understand what is important to the candidate in their next job.
- What is the most important lesson you have learned since graduating college? The most important lesson I have learned is that good things do not come easy. You have to learn that sometimes the hardest moments are the ones that count. It is okay to still be figuring out what you want to do in life and it all takes time. But in the end, it will all be worth it.
