These past two weeks have been very stressful for Meg. In addition to starting classes in person for the first time in over a year, she has also had to learn how to navigate the Kelley career services (a.k.a. Handshake) in order to find an accounting internship for next summer. It seems extremely early to start this process as most position do not start until late May or early June of 2022, but it really isn't according to the business school. Kelley already has companies asking for applications and even had their first accounting networking night this evening.
Meg was pretty overwhelmed when she started the process, but felt a lot better about everything today. Last weekend she updated her resume and researched companies. Last night she attended an information session with one company and met with five recruiters tonight via Zoom. She had applied for at least four positions by the end of the evening and had several more lined up for tomorrow. I have tried to be supportive, but do not know a lot about getting a job in the business world. Thankfully, Doug had a few ideas for her to help her get started and Cal filled in the gaps along the way. Meg hasn't always appreciated living in her brother's shadow, but definitely did tonight. The Plante Moran recruiter knew who he was and strongly encouraged her to apply with their company as well. As stressful as it was to start, Meg felt pretty good about the process this evening. Hopefully, some interviews will follow soon and she will have a plan for the upcoming summer.
