Where participants are landing full-time jobs–There is not one “perfect” job for all candidates. What is important to one person is immaterial to another. And what is a “dream job” for one would not be a great fit for another. What is critical is finding a role where you can develop skills that will propel your career, and finding an organization that recognizes your value and potential.
