It’s amazing how one conversation can open up a new path. I still remember walking up to Inovalon's booth at my college career fair last year, just hoping to learn more about their work in healthcare technology. I was nervous, but I’d put thought into my story, my skills, and my “why”—a genuine interest in making a meaningful impact in healthcare.
That first conversation truly stood out. The shared values we discussed left me feeling motivated to follow up. After a few rounds of interviews, I was excited (and honestly, a bit surprised) to receive an internship offer from Inovalon. The experience of working with their team was incredibly rewarding—full of learning opportunities and challenges that helped me grow both professionally and personally.
Fast forward to this year: Inovalon invited me back to represent them at the same career fair where my journey began. It was exciting to network and engage with my peers and share experiences. It wasn’t long before I realized these events aren’t just about job titles and resumes; they’re about building connections, finding mentors, and exploring new possibilities. It’s a testament to the power of a single conversation.
As I reflect on this journey, I’m reminded of how important it is to stay open to new opportunities and to approach every conversation with genuine curiosity. Career fairs offer more than just a chance to find a job—they’re a platform to learn, grow, and connect with people who can shape your path. I’m grateful for the experiences I’ve had and excited for what lies ahead!
