Whether it is a high school student looking for their first internship, an undergraduate student looking for their next summer internship, or a graduating senior looking for their first full-time job outside of the education sphere, finding opportunities can prove to be difficult.<\/p>\n<p>The <i>From California to the White House event<\/i>, featuring August Mao, offered a different perspective on internships and job hunting. Hosted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/index.aspx\">Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences<\/a> and the Political Science Department, Mao, Lead Product Manager overseeing the Campus Operations Portfolio and Head Liaison to the White House, discussed his career journey from being a Duke University alumni that no recruiters wanted to hire, to his \u201cdream job\u201d at the White House.<\/p>\n<p>What was Mao\u2019s secret to landing the jobs and internships that got him to his dream job? Networking.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cAs an undergraduate student, I sent out hundreds of emails every month to different people in search of opportunities. Slowly but surely, I built a network,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Mao went on to describe how during his time at Duke he built a large and robust network with professionals and classmates. Throughout that time, whenever he would get an internship or a new job, he would email or text his network and give them an update. He stayed in touch.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mao, although he believed his resume wasn\u2019t enough to land him a job at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boozallen.com\/\">Booz Allen Hamilton<\/a>, a tech company he applied to, his <i>connection <\/i>was enough to get him an interview. Ultimately, he got the job. He vividly recounts that at a meet-and-greet for new hires he ran into his fellow Duke classmates, and none of them could believe he got the job. He was even asked if he forged his work I.D. card.<\/p>\n<p>Mao explained that networking (LinkedIn specifically) really helped take his network to the next level. Following that first job at Booz Allen Hamilton he went on to become a Principal at Salesforce, which eventually led him to the White House.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cHaving a robust network has given me the ability to just reach out and ask if anyone he knows is hiring, skipping the normal application process,\u201d Mao said.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, I have a better understanding that having a wide and diverse network will help me and others advance and succeed, and I am motivated to do whatever I can to build and develop my network so I can take my goals and aspirations to the next level.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Photo in header: <span class=\"U665a FEdrY EZz41\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@renedeanda?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\">Ren\u00e9 DeAnda<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/architectural-photography-of-white-house-zfKlCKK-Ql0?utm_content=creditCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=unsplash\">Unsplash)<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Career Corner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":12289,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"Maverick Shuck","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2739,5,6,2631],"tags":[3635,2815,2904,1940],"class_list":["post-15407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-career","category-news","category-posc","category-wilkinson-college","tag-august-mao","tag-career-corner","tag-from-our-eyes","tag-networking"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
