You need the job to get experience, but need experience to get the job - what do you do? With Melanie Lewis ‘17 Integrated Marketing Activation at Nickelodeon

In this short clip, Melanie and I discuss the Catch-22 of applying and interviewing for a job that requires experience but you need that job to get experience. Melanie talks specifically about what she did in this situation, how she succeeded and what you can start doing today to have some success. She did two really important things that can help you, even if you haven’t had any internships: she looked back at the experiences she had (going back to high school), repositioned those experiences to fit the job she applied for, and practiced interviewing so she came across as sharp and prepared. Enjoy!
