Better Your Business

It’s no news that making it in the business world is tough, especially for women, however the Collegiate 100 Women of SU chose to host an event titled “The Devil Wears Prada” giving tips to SU female students on the do’s and dont’s in a professional business environment.
Giving students specific details and tips to being successful in the professional world, the form began with what students should wear for an interview followed by the importance of having a found resume. Students were informed that a good resume could lead one to great opportunities.
Senior nursing major,Karyn Wilkins, from Washington D.C. mentioned that she truly gained by attending this event.
“I learned the importance of everything involving the business setting.”
Senior nursing major, Taylor Bishop, of Houston mentioned that she too gained from the forum.
“I learned how important it is to dress professional in a business setting, and how first impressions are everything.”
Speakers urged students to always be prepared when meeting a potential employer for the first time.
Dress for the position you want, not the position you have.If you want to be the boss you have to have the mentality, the determination, and the look of the boss.
Collegiate 100 President Jasmine Price, had a lot to say when asked what measures she would like to take in order to further emphasize the message of being the best you can be in the business world.
“Well I’d actually like to get a lot more organizations involved in things like spreading awareness. A lot of students on campus don’t know the different types of attire and resume building needed at the business level, so I would just like to see more participation from both organizations and students that are willing to learn.”
