How is ACE supporting you professionally?

ACE has given me opportunities to tour companies I otherwise wouldn't have the chance to. Not only this, but Brenda and Jack make sure to support you through the entire application and interview process-- from taking a professional eye to your cover letter to reminding you to send a thank you letter after an interview. ACE has been an immensely helpful component in my job search and helped me gain the confidence to first apply and then be offered an intern role at Apple next summer.

How has the ACE program complimented your business education?

It's really interesting to see the intersect between the curriculum in my business classes and the practical application of these concepts in ACE. This program really gives my classes more meaning because I can apply what I'm learning on a weekly basis. Plus, because of the ACE program, I can further my application in the internships I am lucky to be apart of!

Favorite piece of advice from the ACE program

Interviews are two way; at the same time they are interviewing you, make sure you are interviewing them to make sure you're a cultural fit and your job/internship will be that much more rewarding.
