#BounceBack
Meet Isaiah Holmes! Isaiah is a 4th-year Architecture major from Chicago. Isaiah is the President of American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS), the Vice Polemarch of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, the Treasurer of Art for Kids, the Historian of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, and a member of United Black Students, among other on-campus organizations. He also works as an Architecture Peer Advisor here at Toppel. Last semester, Isaiah had to #BounceBack after going home to take care of his parents. He was temporarily disengaged from school/career goals and found it overwhelming to balance work and home life simultaneously, but says that the process caused him to reflect on his situation. Isaiah developed a personal recovery plan that aligned with his career goals, and he has made strides in his professional development.

Virtual Career Fair Tips
With the Fall Job & Internship Expo taking place virtually, it’s even more important to be prepared and to have a plan going in. In advance, make sure you update your Handshake profile with your current resume and interests (employers will be using this to learn more about you). Do some background research on the employers who are attending, and prepare a short Elevator Pitch to sell yourself and your qualifications.

For many, working remotely is the definition of “living the dream.” If you’re one of those people, you’re in luck! Remote work is on the rise, and for good reason: research shows that people who are allowed to work remotely can be more productive and less stressed than people who are required to work in an office. That said, it’s still not always easy to find remote jobs, let alone get hired for them.
