In an effort to help studyblrs connect with each other, I’m creating a directory like the one @emmastudies has but about professional experiences (internships, areas of study, jobs, volunteer positions, etc) – so similar to LinkedIn but a lot more casual & less intimidating.

If you’d like to be added, fill out this form: https://forms.gle/8fKo6XXcyfutpHzj9

Please reblog to spread the word!

Disclaimers: 1. The info you submit will be publicly displayed in the directory. 2. You may specify as little or as much as you want. For instance, you may describe just your role without listing company names. Please reach out to @academiix for any questions!

An Emotional Sando

These past few weeks have been an emotional sando. Two fat chunks of stress layered between three delicate slices of bliss. The meatiness, however, is in the stress. Upon taking a bite, I plug my nose out of caution. It’s all texture and no taste–a little stringy, a little tough. But the moment I unplug, a rush of umami juiciness gushes to my tastebuds. (An aside: try this while eating…

"Wow, You've Changed." And Talking to Strangers.

I’ve been thinking about career. Not in the pre-professional hustle context (though I’ve had my fair share of that as well), but from a recruiter or a founder’s perspective. Specifically, I’ve been asking people, what type of person would you want to hire? Who would you choose as your C-Suite? What type of colleague do you want to be seen as? I’d actually not want to be a founder. I’d much…

Deeply Disturbed

If I could describe my Advanced Economic Analysis professor in one word, it is animated. Professor Ngai is a petite, slim Chinese woman thriving in a field of old Caucasian men. While many other LSE professors read monotonously from a PowerPoint, she’s constantly moving from the white board to the aisle to the projector, cold-calling on students by name. She weaves personal stories into her…

2022 Review: The Three Seasons

At the end of the year, I do Ali Abdaal’s annual review on Notion. Rather than the substance of the answers to the reflective questions, what intrigues me is how my answers compare to last year. I can split this year into three seasons: Selfish (Jan – May): I pushed people away at times, kept a small social circle and a very predictable weekly routine. Self-discipline was my motto. It impacted…

Happy weekend guys! Today is such a busy day. Woke up at 9am cuz I went to sleep at 2am because I was busy with work. Today I have to finish 4 hour practice course, study and finish at least half of my assignment. If you’re busy too, you can do it!

A year ago, I was frantically applying to internships, not thinking I had the right qualifications. I was wrong.

Here’s how I landed an internship in marketing at a tech company (including: cover letter, resume, and interview tips)
