As an Intelligence Fellow, I had the opportunity to participate in some fantastic professional development workshops that aimed at boosting my job-seeking skills. I received support in various areas, which included writing an impressive resume, developing an elevator pitch, and honing scenario-based interview question skills. As if that wasn't enough, during the spring semester, I got to refine my public speaking and networking skills, and even learned a thing or two about branding for success. But that's not all - we also got to meet and brief hiring managers and agency representatives during the Fellowship's annual spring break trip to Washington, DC. It was such a fantastic experience!
The research I conducted had a profound impact on me. Consulting with my peers and receiving guidance on research methodology and direction made me realize that I am progressing towards becoming a respected figure in the field of intelligence.
