Hi folks!Welcome to the What’s After This? Podcast with Business Career Services! This podcast is a chance for us to sit down with employers, recruiters, alumni, and other friends of the Walker College of Business to talk about and answer your questions about What’s After This - your time in the WCOB. Thanks for joining us and we hope this will give you some insight. Today on the podcast, I sit down with Joanna Faith Williams, a 2018 alumna of the Marketing Department in the WCOB. She has taken some *big* steps in the very beginning of her career, and is now living and working in New York City with Publicis Media - the third largest marketing firm in the world. Needless to say she is a go-getter and firecracker in the best of ways! In this episode she gives students and recent alumni some wonderful advice about entering the workplace as she tells us a bit of her own story. She encourages students to stay curious, to be the first, and to be available. I just know you will appreciate all that she has to say, so without further ado, here is my conversation with Joanna.

WATJoannaFaithInterviewFinal - 7:16:20, 11.20 AM.mp3Hi folks!Welcome to the What’s After This? Podcast with Business Career Services! This podcast is a chance for us to sit down with employers, recruiters, alumni, and other friends of the Walker College of Business to talk about and answer your questions about What’s After This - your time in the WCOB. Thanks for joining us and we hope this will give you some insight. Today on the podcast, I sit down with 2019 alumna Alia Dahlan. Alia is a financial analyst for Barclays in Manhattan. Barclays is one of the top 10 largest investment banks in the world and is similar to some other names you may have heard like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Morgan Stanley. When Alia was a student not that long ago, she took advantage of nearly everything that the WCOB had to offer her - she was a Walker Fellow, Holland Fellow, member of the Bowden Investment Group, member of the Women of Walker, and so many more things. She has some great advice for folks new to the workplace as she has just completed her first year working with her team partially in her office in time square as well as remotely for several months now. In this episode she gives new employees some advice about connecting with their team, but I will let her tell you more about that herself. So, without further ado, here is my conversation with Alia.
Tips from Alia:
Tips from Alia:
- Know how your team likes to be communicated with.
- Get to know your team first thing - it's awkward if you try to do it later.
- Never be afraid to ask questions.

Today on the podcast, I catch up with Maxwell Gordon, a 2017 graduate of the WCOB with degrees in International Business and Economics, and a minor in Mandarin Chinese. While he was at Appalachian he was also part of the Holland Fellows program - he touches more on that in our conversation. Now, Max works for Truist Bank in Winston Salem as a Teammate Experience and Enablement Data Analyst - again, I will let him explain exactly what that means. In this interview, he encourages students and newcomers to the workplace to be flexible, to show initiative, to have a “yes, and” mindset, and to use your network. This conversation has all kinds of good things jam packed into it, so without further ado - here is my conversation with Max.
