#UShine
Meet Taylor Shirk, a first-gen sophomore majoring in Computer Science, Political Science, and Mathematics, with a minor in Dance.
Last semester Taylor joined Kappa Theta Pi, UM’s professional technology fraternity, where she has participated in professional & technical workshops, networking events, as well as the rush and marketing committees.
Taylor is also the treasurer and an instructor for Salsa Craze, where she has been honing her communication, teaching, and organizational skills. As a Schonfeld Scholar, she visited the Schonfeld office in Wynwood. There, she spoke with the software engineers and previous interns who had gotten hired to learn more about their experiences and how they transitioned from college to internships and full-time jobs at Schonfeld.
Taylor says that Toppel’s career coaches have helped her update and perfect her resume, as well as helped improve her interview skills. She will also be attending the Career Crawl: Arts & Sciences in NYC over spring break!
Piece of Advice:
“Fake it till you make it! Nobody knows how to do anything (including life) perfectly on the first try, so do your best and stay confident. If you consistently put in the effort and advocate for yourself, opportunities will come your way.”

Preparing for a Career Fair
Whether it’s your first career fair, or the mere idea of convincing a stranger to hire you riddles you with anxiety...let’s face it, career fairs can seem intimidating at first. But what if we told you it’s not as scary as you think?
When it comes to career fairs, it’s best to view it as taking the time to meet people who are looking forward to meeting you. Because at the end of the day, that’s what the employers are there for – they want to meet and get to know you. All that’s left is for you to reciprocate their energy, be your authentic yourself, and prepare before you get there.
How you prepare is all up to you! But if you want some ideas, check out this article on Handshake that gives some really good tips on how to make the most out of a career fair.
