How did you get your current job, and what kind of work do you do in your role?
I got my current job by applying via LinkedIn. Once I applied I went through a two step interview process. I am the assistant to CEO & CAO, so I do multiple different admin duties. They include HR, onboarding/off-boarding employees, benefit enrollment, marketing strategies, project management, travel coordinator, sales order entry, and anything else that they might need!
How did your Applied Humanities major coursework help prepare you or give you unique insight for the “real world” of work?
It helped me by showing me different business strategies, paying attention to detail, how to apply/interview for a position, and what recruiters/bosses are looking for in a candidate.
What is a benefit you see now in studying your area of emphasis and the Applied Humanities?
The benefit I see is since I enjoy the more personable side of working in a company it helped me with the business dynamics and management rather than the math of a normal business major. I also appreciated it focused on real world problems in the workplace and how a business functions on an administrative level.
