#BounceBack

Meet Mia Porter! Mia is from Atlanta, GA, and double majors in Africana Studies and Sociology with minors in Management and Communications. She recently secured a full-time job with Tik Tok working in Talent and Acquisition for all business-related recruitment. In this role, Mia will be reaching out to candidates, reading applications, and interviewing as well as working to implement diverse and equitable practices in the company's recruiting foundation. Mia found this job on Handshake under her recommended jobs and used Toppel to help guide her through the application process.

Some advice from Mia: Go for everything. It sounds cliché, but the worst answer that you can get is “no.” You never know who will be on the other side of the interview table, so be unique and truthful in your answers, because you may connect with someone over something unique that you all have in common. Be persistent. Be authentic. Be passionate.
