New York Jobs CEO Council

Wrapping up our intern celebration with a recap of our #NationalInternDay event hosted by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center   We celebrated the talented interns' driving impact on their roles across various companies in New York City. High school and college interns all came together to network, share, and celebrate their accomplishments.    The event also featured a panel with #CUNYalumni across healthcare, accounting, investment banking, and consulting industries to advise students on how to stand out in their internship, how to receive feedback candidly, and how to overcome challenges. The biggest lesson shared was that you have to start somewhere!    Thank you to our panel –– Arlina Reyes, Joyce J., Arafath Radji, and Aileen W. for showing up for the next generation of interns.

Today we are spotlighting a #CUNYstudent who has taken proactive steps to elevate his career journey! 🌟 Seckou Conte is a Lehman College student studying Finance and this summer he is an Operations Intern at Tishman Speyer. Seckou has always been determined and driven to create a successful pathway for himself. His involvement with SEO (Sponsors for Educational Opportunity) allowed him to receive tailored coaching and professional development, and his experience in CUNY Futures in Finance allowed him to connect with #CUNYtalent and prepare for careers in financial services and the investment industry. Words of wisdom from Seckou: “It’s easier to get a stroke of luck when you work hard. Never stop grinding.” #nationalinternday #careerreadiness #internspotlights #cuny #cunyfuturesinfinance

Our #CUNYtalent are filled with determination and curiosity. A perfect example is Perla Dahan, a Cybersecurity student at John Jay College (CUNY) and an Information Technology Help Desk Intern at Warner Bros. Discovery. Perla has been spending her time at college immersing herself in various on-campus initiatives to help build rapport and skills needed to excel in her passion for cybersecurity and business. Building experience can start with your involvement on campus! While being a student, she is currently the President of John Jay’s Girls Who Code, the VP of John Jay Computer Science Society Club, and the founder of The CUNY CS Collective –– a new initiative for computer science students to connect with other computer science students across CUNY campuses. Her advice to #CUNYstudents is: “Just apply, even if you're nervous, not qualified enough, or think you won't get the job, just apply anyway. You'll never know if you never try.”

Continuing our celebration of interns, today we spotlight Naheen K. a Credit Risk Intern at Goldman Sachs in Dallas and Brooklyn College student! Interning at Goldman Sachs in Dallas has been an incredible experience for Naheen. It has helped him realize more about personal and professional aspirations. Moving to a new state was initially daunting, but it provided a unique opportunity for growth. Ultimately it has allowed Naheen to appreciate his love for New York City and Brooklyn, and it offered clarity on career goals and living preferences. Naheen’s advice to fellow CUNY students is to always be proactive and seek opportunities to learn. “Don’t be afraid to ask questions and connect with mentors who can guide you through your career journey. Balancing academics and internships is challenging but manageable with good time management and prioritization skills.” #NationalInternDay #GoldmanSachs #BrooklynCollege #InternLife #CareerAdvice #CUNY #InternshipExperience #FutureGoals The City University of New York #cunyinterns #cunytalent
