Please tell me how you can apply the course work you took in college to a position at our company?

During my tenure at college, I took a wide range of course that helped to broaden my perspective. My school required students to take course in the humanities, diversity centered/non-western, the natural sciences, writing and other disciplines.

This spectrum of classes has allowed me to gain a firm understanding of alternative models of thinking and I will be able to transfer this mindset to my professional career as well. As companies globalize, it is significant to not only be an expert in your own field, but also be savvy with other ways as well to bring a new perspectives to the table.

What extracurricular activities have you participated in during college, and how did they help prepare you for the position you are applying for?

At college, I was a Resident Assistant for two semesters and held a leadership position on SGA and a student club. As an RA I was responsible for the care and co-management of a building of 200 plus students. I gained valuable skills in planning events, being the leader of a floor and working as a team to effectively manage resident issues.

In my leadership roles on SGA and student clubs, I learned a lot about myself. I developed a passion for being an agent of change. It helped me to be able to gain a firmer understanding of my own strengths and weaknesses and grow personally and professionally.
