New graduate career story with guest Kalynn Schwandt

In this episode I interview Kalynn Schwandt, a new graduate starting her first full time post graduation position. Kalynn recently completed her BS in Strategic Communication and MS in Mass Communications from Oklahoma State University, in a combined fashion. She used the summer between her fourth and fifth years of schooling to complete a corporate communications internship. The internship she choose was outside her original search geographic area and was in a function with a job title she had not originally included in her internship search. She shares insights into how she navigated her internship search and perspectives she gained from that experience and the internship. Kalynn is starting a full time position aligned with her career interests within a few weeks of graduation and provides a view into how she approached the selection of her post graduation job opportunity.
