On Thursday 9 January, Boston AYAC was excited to host the group of UVA externs who were in town for the week. We met at First Printer at Harvard Square [see the sign above our heads?], and shared some food, drink, and lots of conversation about living and working in Boston. While we can't always vouch for the weather [hello, polar vortex...] those of us who live and work in Boston love it - and we're always excited to share our knowledge with fellow 'Hoos. One of the big themes of the evening was strategies for securing a job out of undergrad or grad school - what works, who to talk to, and lessons learned. When I first moved to Boston, not knowing anyone, I wish I would have had some kind of network like AYAC - which is why I'm happy to be a part of it now!
We're already starting to plan our next event, candlepin bowling - so stay tuned!
