This week, the #ObamaFellows convened for the first time as a class to exchange what they’ve learned from their work around the world. Today, @BarackObama and @MichelleObama joined them for roundtable discussions on civic leadership and how to create lasting change.
Advice from panelist Ryan Asajo: we cannot do this on our own- “we need help” great advice about seeking mentor ship and not being afraid to ask for help along your job search or life in general. #CUNYFinance #CUNY Meetup
Advice from panelist Kim Foo: Think about what makes you passionate about the sector of finance you are interested in, it makes all the difference during your interviews. #CUNYFinance
