“Each co-op search I have always found it beneficial talking to older students that have been in my shoes before. NU Careers can seem so vast, and hearing the experiences of others is a great means of information when it comes to a job. As I get older, I find myself involved in women’s networks at my jobs and am always seeking valuable insight from experienced women. I realize the importance of having a female to look up to as we go forth in a male dominated industry.”

“I have/have had several mentors and think it’s invaluable to have someone with your best interests in mind who wants to support you in realizing your strengths and how to use them. Having someone to talk to and bounce ideas off of can be incredibly beneficial and both the mentor and mentee will learn from the experience. As a woman going into finance, I think it’s important to promote one another and “stick together” as it’s a bit of a boy’s club. Sharing personal experiences and how we’ve overcome them and navigated them can be both therapeutic and encouraging.”

“Being a peer mentor for women in finance is extremely important to me because it was very intimidating being only 1 of 4 girls in my finance co-op class and I think it is important for women to have someone to look up to in a male dominated field.

“I always compared co-op search to the college application process; for me, the co-op search was a lot easier because I had a mentor who informed me of opportunities that may be suitable to my interests. Being a peer mentor is my way of making the process easier for underclassmen as I know how scary it is the first time.”
