🧠INSIGHTS
Khushboo initially completed her Master’s in Canada and was working for Brock Solutions but decided her passion lies somewhere else. She started Boarding Pass for Success to help students gain insights directly from the source, people actually working in the industry (similar to What the HAT!?).
👨🏼🎓 Learn from the source: Khushboo says that in her webinars and interviews she comes across a lot of students who ask their relatives or family for advice. The issue is some of the members graduated 20 years ago! The educational environment has changed and so has the industry.
If you’re doing research for your career, ask people who have recently graduated or are working in the industry which interests you!
And we agree!
🧠 Lessons from interviews: Khushboo also hosts a podcast on YouTube interviewing recent graduates. So we asked her, what are her favorite lessons? She said most people she talked to were clueless in the initial phase of college. No one is ever sure of what they are going to do.
