Thank you to Olivia from @CAPmentors_UF for giving us helpful tips at our #UFFBLAPBL meeting!

[UF Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) @UFFBLAPBL]

Carry a notebook with you everywhere you go. You never know when or where you'll get helpful information from. #UFFBLAPBL

You can have more than one mentor. It might make sense for you to have a mentor for your professional career and your personal life. Your mentors may change throughout your time in college too. Everyone you meet has something they can teach you #UFFBLAPBL

Make an account with Hire Warrington – a resource that gives @UFWarrington students the opportunity to apply with companies specifically looking for #BusinessGators! #UFFBLAPBL

If you're worried your application has fallen through the cracks at a company, add their recruiters on LinkedIn and reach out! You may come across a kind person who can help you out! #UFFBLAPBL

[UF Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) @UFFBLAPBL]

During your application process, look up people that work there and reach out to learn more about their work, the company and the interview process. (Bonus points if they're a Gator!) #UFFBLAPBL @CAPmentors_UF

Try to organize your internship/job applications in to buckets. In Bucket A, you put your dream jobs. In Bucket B, you put good jobs that you're qualified for, but get a lot of applications. In Bucket C, you put good jobs that maybe don't get as many applications. Then, you wait!

Olivia Piatkowski, a @CAPmentors_UF, has 40 job/internship applications out at the moment to ensure she has a job ready for graduation.

Before you go back to ask a follow up question, he said, Google it. If you can't find the answer online, ask someone lateral to your position. If you still can't find the answer, it's a great question to take to a supervisor! #UFFBLAPBL

[UF Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) @UFFBLAPBL]

His biggest tip for interns?
Figure out the implied tasks that your supervisors are asking you to do. Go above and beyond to turn in the best work possible work. #UFFBLAPBL

A huge thank you to Bill White from @sharpspring for joining our members yesterday to explain how marketing automation can help a company succeed!

[UF Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) @UFFBLAPBL]

Thank you @ALPFAUF for bringing the @facebook recruitment team to our campus. It was a very informative meeting!

[UF Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) @UFFBLAPBL]

Sometimes, you have to take a step back so that you can take two steps forward. @Facebook doesn't compromise it's integrity and neither should you!

[UF Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) @UFFBLAPBL]

The last things that @facebook recruiters look at are your name, major and university. Don't make yourself less you in order to fit a role, they're looking for diverse candidates.

[UF Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) @UFFBLAPBL]

Don't look to hit three applications and be done with it. You should apply to the @Facebook positions that speak to you.

[UF Phi Beta Lambda (FBLA-PBL) @UFFBLAPBL]

You may have heard about the Freshman 15 in college, but with all the free eating options on the Facebook campus, they gain the Facebook 15
