I have been covering Eastern Europe since I started. The analysts each cover a region of the world, essentially, and each associate gets assigned an analyst to work with. I am on the research team which is right now is composed of 3 research associates, like me, who are recent college grads and four research analysts who are Ph.D. The breakdown is that about half of the team is composed of traders and the other half work on research and there are two portfolio managers as well. We are composed of about 25 people in total. Right now, I work on Franklin Templeton’s Global Macro Team. I graduated in the Class of 2018 as a Math and Economics double major at Wellesley. During her time at JMU, Cruzvergara learned very quickly that “ leadership is an action, not a title.Keertana: Hi, my name is Keertana Anandraj. Reflecting on her time at JMU, Cruzvergara recited an old saying : “No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.” This saying summarized her Madison Experience. Some of these companies are seeking students to hire immediately in their campus communities.
Serving as a first step in crafting your career, Handshake has partnered with over 400,000 companies. “Students will have to continually reinvent themselves.” Soon-to-be college graduates will enter this market shortly, and when they do, access to a community of employers could make a difference. In today’s job market, “ professionals will change jobs nearly 12-15 times,” Cruzvergara said. In her current role, Cruzvergara has had the opportunity to serve students on a much larger scale. Recruited as part of a growing team, she arrived at Handshake after working tirelessly for the students of Wellesley College and George Mason University. Transitioning into the technology industry is no easy task, though for Cruzvergara the “ability to have an impact on millions of students across thousands of universities” was well worth the challenge. Additionally, as employers across the country strive for diverse workplaces, Cruzvergara and her team have been an ally, both to potential employees and the companies that can hire them. Handshake allows these companies to recruit at new schools and reach a community of 17 million students. As employers seek out applicants, many of them return to the same schools and job pools the y have always used. A key difference is that employers reach more schools (and more applicants) than ever before through Handshake. LinkedIn, Glassdoor and Indeed offer similar opportunities. Handshake is not the first service of its kind. Recent JMU graduates may continue to apply to on-campus interview positions and register for career fairs, and all alumni may use and search for jobs on Handshake. A student from any academic department can benefit from this online employment community. Additionally, students are able to request an appointment with CAP through Handshake, streamlining the process and allowing easier access to advis ers. After all, Career and Academic Planning at JMU uses Handshake to provide students with a one-stop shop for employment resources. It seems right that a JMU alumn a would be involved in the student success efforts at Handshake. Cruzvergara spent over a decade in the industry before landing at Handshake as v ice p resident of higher education and student success. Since graduation, she has applied these skills to a career in higher education. “His humility and his lessons about what it means to show leadership, particularly in difficult moments, has carried me through some of the most challenging situations,” she said. Psychology professor Bill Evans, whose leadership still inspires her, taught Cruzvergara the concept of servant leadership.
