“I started to head toward a group of young looking alumni. I noticed one girl's nametag- …. I instantly recognized this name as a former member of my sorority and decided to speak to her. She laughed that I recognized her, we instantly had a starting off point, and soon began talking about her job, which was a Medical Editor at MD Anderson in Houston. She asked if I had any experience in the field, and I told her I'd worked internships at 3 different non-profits in the past, with experience in PR, Marketing and Development, as well as working on an English degree. We exchanged cards (bringing personal business cards to Making Connections is the number one thing one must do!)”
