My name is Anna Morgan Couch and I'm a senior double majoring in Spanish
International Trade and Finance. I started out in the College of Liberal
Arts with a major in Spanish International Trade and so with that
major I was taking classes in the College of Business. I started
realizing that the College of Business had great access to resources and
really good job placement. So I took a finance class with Mandy Harrelson and
loved it. I sat down with her in office hours a lot and we just started
discussing opportunities in finance and how I could combine that with Spanish.
She single-handedly helped me set up this job that I've taken now with Crestmark Bank.
She recommended me for an interview and I interviewed with the company.
I was interested in them, they were interested in me
and she really helped me and coached me along the way.
I also did the resume workshop with Ms. Jan Moppert. Getting my resume
together, honestly, was something that was really stressful for me because I had a
lot of different things that could go on it. I didn't know what belonged and
what didn't. She is a guru when it comes to that kind of stuff and she
helped me figure out what I needed to put on there and helped make the format
look a lot cleaner. It's a lot more put together and so that relieved a lot of
stress going into the job application process.
At the end of August I received
an offer from Crestmark Bank, which is a full-time position as a junior field
examiner. I took that offer and I'll be moving to Nashville in the spring and,
again, that was just really because of the help that I had through the OPCD
and through Mandy Harrelson just coaching me and getting me to the place
that I needed to be.
One thing I wish I had done from the beginning is getting to know other
College of Business students. It would have made me a lot more
comfortable at networking events like Career Fair. Just walking in and seeing
familiar faces of other students in the College of Business I think would have
helped my confidence level. I would say that the resources offered
by the College of Business are superior to any that you can find anywhere else
and those resources are free to students in the College of Business. It's so
important to take advantage of that and just to realize how many opportunities
the College of Business is giving you and how much they can do for you if you
just take advantage of those resources.
