My Applied Humanities degree has played a major role in my current position and what I do daily in my workdays and everyday routines. After graduating I landed a position as a Business Development Specialist for a Mechanical Contracting company in California. A major part of my role is attending networking events, creating relationships with customers, building connections, and executing sales. All of which I learned how to do from being a Humanities student. The transferable skills I gained from being a Humanities student, such as communicating with diverse audiences, intercultural competence, having curiosity, being empathetic and understanding, and many more really played a key role in landing my current position and being able to utilize them daily. In the Humanities degree we gain a strong education, that is useful in day-to-day life, not just limited to work. I wouldn't be who I am today without my amazing professors, and interactive learning we do as Humanities students.
