Landry Stavenhagen
Corporate Communications Class of 2023 Assistant Buyer Academy Sports and Outdoors
I originally didn't have any idea how to go about the job search and taking PRD 2101 gave me a lot of guidance. I attended Academy Day, hosted by the Career Center, and had an interview the next day. That interview led to an invite to Academy's headquarters in Katy, TX where I participated in an Executive mixer and then two more interviews the next morning. I excelled in the interviews using guidance and instruction on the interview process from PRD 2101, and I was able to obtain a job offer as an Assistant Buyer in Academy's Executive Trainee program.
My advice to the other students is to throw yourself in the race and see what happens. The worst thing you can do is apply and they tell you no. Ms. Rylander encouraged me to just see what happens and it ended up with me getting a job offer somewhere that I'm so excited to go work at and I'm looking forward to the work that I'm going to go do. If I hadn't tried, I wouldn't be in the spot I'm in right now.
