Professional Mentorship
No internship? No worries.
Connect with U.C. Berkeley alumni working in the Bay Area to get answers on some of these questions you had hoped to sort out through an internship.
What is it like to work for a particular company?
An aspiring startup, or a Fortune 500. Each company has its own unique culture and processes. Get an insider’s look from a Cal alum to learn about the pros and cons of how a company operates. You’ll get a better idea about where you’d like to work in the future.
What do you do as a professional in the field?
So you’ve learned it in a classroom, but might still be wondering How do I know if I would actually like to do it for a living? Talk to an alum about what happens in the day-to-day work of a professional, and hear about the highs and lows of a given week on the job.
What can I do to improve my skill set?
Practice makes better. Find out what the pros are using, and get guidance on how to find relevant projects to boost your practical experiences.
