Swanson, Martin & Bell, LLP Associate Nicole O'Toole Peterson spoke at Saint Mary's College Alumnae Association Board of Directors' fall meeting on September 19, 2024, in South Bend, Indiana.
The "Beyond the Avenue: Navigating Post-College Etiquette" panel of alumnae gathered over 60 students with the aim of sharing insights from their work experiences to help students navigate the world beyond Saint Mary's College.
During the discussion, O'Toole Peterson emphasized that the job application process has shifted focus from just the cover letter to also including the resume, stressing the importance of tailoring each application. Peterson encouraged students to begin networking early by connecting on LinkedIn and other platforms. She also noted the significance of thorough interview preparation, highlighting the importance of knowing what to bring, wear, and say.
Prior to the discussion, students were also provided with the opportunity to participate in a raffle to win a variety of prizes. The interactive panel was featured in The Observer, the student-run, tri-weekly print and online newspaper serving Notre Dame, Saint Mary's, and Holy Cross. Read the full article here.
