 We are currently partners in the Sales and Customer Service program at the Trulaske School of Business. Together we support 30 Career Circles. In each circle, mentors provide students guidance as they work through an eight work program building job search skills.
 
 ## What Students Are Saying
-"While our meetings at 1 p.m. on Mondays made my schedule a bit busier, they always left me feeling empowered because each lesson was meaningful. The skills and insights I gained prepared me for my professional life and gave me valuable tips for succeeding in interviews."
+>As I approached graduation and began preparing for my career, I realized I was struggling with how to effectively search for jobs and present myself during interviews. I felt overwhelmed by the process and unsure of the best strategies to stand out to employers. I needed guidance on how to navigate the job market more confidently—specifically with resume-building, job search techniques, and interview preparation. My mentor took the time to walk me through effective job search methods, including how to tailor my applications for specific roles. He also helped me improve my interviewing skills through mock interviews and personalized feedback. My mentor shared resources, examples, and tips that were practical and easy to apply. Thanks to his support, I gained a lot more confidence in my job search. I now have a clear strategy for applying to positions that fit my goals, and I feel prepared to handle interviews professionally. His mentorship made a real difference in helping me feel career-ready.
 
-"My mentor shared valuable advice that is relevant for preparing my group and I for a future career, life after college, and how to navigate this last year of undergrad. The steps that my mentor took during our meetings includes relating each week's topic to real world topics and previous meetings, connecting with each other on LinkedIn, and so on. These meetings resulted in a new professional connection and advice that I will remember throughout life." 
+>As a college senior, I am preparing to graduate and enter the job market. I felt overwhelmed by finding a full-time job and was unsure where to start. My goal was to secure a full-time position before graduation in May, but I needed guidance on how to successfully navigate the job search process. My mentor helped me learn the importance of networking and interview processes. He also gave me feedback on my personal brand. I gained more confidence in my abilities and in navigating the job market. I have a few interviews coming up, and I am confident they will go smoothly because of this mentor.
 
-"One positive realization I came to at the end of our meeting is that if you never try, you will never know. It is better to try something new in a career or in life than regret it later on. This experience has been so rewarding and I gained many new friends as well as a wonderful mentor through this experience."
+>My experience with my career mentor has been incredibly valuable in shaping my job search strategy. When I first started exploring marketing and advertising, I felt overwhelmed by the vast range of opportunities and unsure how to position myself effectively. I needed guidance on refining my portfolio, identifying the right roles, and building confidence in my skills. My mentor made insightful observations about my strengths and market trends, helping me see where I could stand out. He provided personalized advice on optimizing my resume, improving my social media marketing approach, and developing a strategic job search plan. His recommendations, along with connections to industry professionals and practical resources, made the process much more manageable. As a result, I gained clarity, secured interviews for roles aligned with my interests, and approached job searching with a newfound sense of confidence and direction.
+
+>One of my challenges that I faced was that I could not land interviews with companies that I was very interested in. I asked my mentor how to better myself and be more noticeable. My mentor told me to reach out to people in the companies that I’m interested in and to connect with them on LinkedIn. I immediately tried it with one company, HubSpot, and conveniently got an interview with them! The first one already happened and now I am onto the second round! I truly thank you, my mentor!
+
+>My mentor was very helpful with describing our objectives in real-world situations. He challenged us to network with our group outside of class to learn more about each other. This allowed us to have effective discussions with one another when the floor was open to talk. I personally needed help learning more about the differences in B2B and B2C and what to do when you work with both types of clients. With his marketing background, he helped me understand how to market effectively. My mentor took many steps to reach out to people he knew in different industries and help us make a connection. Our grit circle was very positive and helped us grow our professionalism.
