Student Question Answered
Question: “I’m not from a top college. Will that hurt my chances of getting good opportunities?”
Answer: Not at all, what matters more is what you do with the opportunities around you. Recruiters care about skills and proof of work, not just college names.
Start by building a small portfolio: join collaborative projects on Passionett, contribute to open-source, or volunteer your skills for a local NGO or startup. Then showcase your work on LinkedIn or GitHub with clear outcomes (“designed a website that reached 5,000+ users”).
When you focus on outcomes and learning, your college name becomes just one line on the résumé, your work speaks louder.
That’s it for this edition of Passionett Pulse.
Keep learning, keep building, and keep cheering each other on — your next big opportunity might be closer than you think. 🌟
Share your biggest takeaway from this newsletter on LinkedIn and tag us (#PassionettPulse), we will repost it— we might feature your quote in our next edition, along with your name and profile link. [Maybe a coffee from us too?]
