Capital One
Senior Coordinator
I manage operations for corporate philanthropy, including employee giving programs (matching gifts to schools and nonprofits) and reviewing volunteer hours for Community Reinvestment Act qualifications.
Good communication skills are vital to my job. I politely respond to external sponsorship requests. I manage our employee giving programs which involves problem-solving and working with numbers to meet forecast (projected) requirements. I review volunteer hours for Community Reinvestment Act qualifications, which requires research and initiative. I manage event sponsorships which requires project skills, meeting deadlines & ensuring that all parties involved are on deadline & responding.
Here's the first step for college students
I haven't finished college but if I hadn't started I wouldn't be where I am today & finishing college will get me to the next step. College isn't all about the classes. If you think about high school, besides the subjects you are learning to interact with others and there are opportunities outside of class, such as sports and clubs that help you as a person to develop communication and leadership skills. You might get or learn about an afterschool job from a friend. College opens doors.
"My family said I shouldn't go to a better high school, I did it anyway. After I dropped out of college, they said I shouldn't try again. I went back, they said I wouldn't do well. I aced my 1st class. they said it won't happen again. It is."
