#BounceBack

Meet Nkosi Robinson! Nkosi is a senior majoring in Marketing with a minor in International Business. He has made use of Toppel services throughout his time at UM, including attending fairs and events, using Handshake, and working with peer advisors and other Toppel staff. Nkosi is currently interning with Business Insider as an Events Intern, where he assists the Insider Events team with the planning and execution of internal events, editorial conferences, and custom events. He says he knew rejection would be a natural part of his career journey, but that feedback from Toppel has helped him to #BounceBack and find new opportunities.

Some advice from Nkosi: Make use of the experience you have outside of the classroom, such as student organizations, to help you stand out, and mention them to employers. Also, try to be positive throughout the job search process because it can be very intimidating, but things will work out.

Message from Suraya:

The best advice I have ever received is work on yourself and the people who are meant for you will grow beside you. This year was difficult since I was online most of the time, so it was hard to connect and still get involved. However, I made an effort to reach out to peers, mentors, and community members in order to maintain that connection while I was remote. I even got to start research studying minority stress is Latina women which has been an amazing opportunity!
