He also said, “Utilize your time wisely, even if you can only give 5 hours a week. This could provide a great practice opportunity and more experiences to list on your LinkedIn.”

Tariq Khan on some of his best advice for students: “One piece of advice I have is to get an internship. Your internship is your biggest door opener. If who you work for has big clients you can connect with those clients and potentially work for them in the future too.”

Janet also acknowledged how difficult it can be to speak up when you have a differing opinion in the workplace. She said: “You can provide a perspective that no one else can if you’re the youngest or a minority in the room. You have the opportunity to keep that lens on and help.”

Janet Stovall on working as a person of color in public relations: “Embrace it, leverage it and let it work for you.”

Giannina Seaman’s reminder for professionals in the interview process: “A company may be interviewing you, but you’re also interviewing them. You have the power to walk away from a conversation and say ‘You know what, this isn’t for me’ and that’s okay.”

Giannina Seaman on how to tell when a company values diversity: “If a company or organization wants to innovate and find different ways to make what they’re doing a commercial imperative they bring in diverse talent and inclusive experiences, and are authentic about it.”

When asked about how to best pivot careers, Tricia Newell said: “The key to a lot of the work and pivoting careers is to be able to hone in on your transferable skills.”

Tricia Newell’s advice on networking: “It’s about being authentic in your approach and getting to know people before you need them. Build a rapport, it can be as simple as liking or retweeting an article and then sending a note.”
