Day to Day

A typical day in my world involves reviewing emails, websites and project plans related to National Diversity Recruiting Events that take place all year long for Talent Acquisition. I attend conference calls, webcasts and meetings with internal colleagues, business contacts and external vendor partners to plan every aspect of the events - everything from scheduling and confirming the resources and materials that will be onsite, to registration and communication with attendees and participants.

Advice for Getting Started

Here's the first step for high school students

I would say that learning to work well in groups is a key step to being successful in this role. Make yourself part of a team and work toward a common goal. Even if you don't succeed, learn from your mistakes to improve. There are many successful individual contributors (those that don't manage a team of people) in our company. Being able to contribute to the success of a group project and working effectively within a team is critical in this role.
