The Michigan Innovators website has been an inspiration to me this year.  There are a lot of really impressive people here in Michigan that have managed to find new and exciting ways to succeed in our ever-changing economy and they have also contributed toward improving our community as a whole. 

As a student, I get excited thinking about all the possiblities there are for me.  The world is my oyster and I have so many ideas about what I would like to accomplish professionally.  The problem is...Where do I start?  What do I need to do in order to find my place in corporate America?  What is it really like out there in the real world? 

I think that I have found a good place to start at Eastern Michigan University (EMU).  I am currently an officer with EMU's Global IT Club.  The primary objective of the Global IT Club is to connect students with IT professionals; allowing students to learn more about their desired professions, showcase their talents to potential employers, and develop relationships with business professionals.  As a Global IT Club officer, I help facilitate relationships between EMU and distinguished IT professionals who work locally.  I help coordinate field trips to companies such as Google and Pure Visibility and arrange for recruiters and guest speakers to come to EMU's College of Business. 

My work with the Global IT Club has given me a lot of insight regarding the current job market and helped develop my personal career aspirations. Organizations such as Michigan Innovators and EMU's Global IT Club are necessary links in the chain to connect students like me to companies that fit our career objectives and personalities.  Hopefully my involvement with Michigan Innovators and the Global IT Club will save me from the brutal experience of sending thousands of resumes to random companies online.
