#BreakThru

Meet Zachary Danney! Zachary is a Human Resource Management major with a minor in International Business. He has been using Toppel resources to polish his resume and interview skills since his first day as a UM student. These include career fairs, the Skills Advantage Series, and personal consultations for career advice. He has had to #BreakThru rejection in his career search and has stayed committed to finding the perfect internship for his skills/interests. Today, he interns at Miami Jewish Health in Talent Acquisition, and he says the role has been everything he could have hoped for.

Some advice from Zachary: Make the most out of your opportunity to network while you are here, not just with other students, but also with alumni, professors, administration, and professionals working within your field of study who work within the university community. Treat everyone with respect--you really never know where an opportunity could come from.

Best Advice?

I wish I could have known to trust the process. My freshman year I was worried about my future career, grades, involvements, friends, etc. Everything figured itself out without the extra stress.

#BreakThru Story?

One real struggle was figuring out what I wanted to do in the future, and I think this was partially because I wasn't really listening to myself and also because I was scared of making drastic changes to my "set future plan". But I knew my passion was in law, so I really had to pivot my career plans, and I am so thankful I did. I joined Above the Bar, a pre-law organization on campus, and met amazing people, made connections, and learned a lot for when I apply to Law School.
