You’re probably wondering – who in the world is this Résumé Girl? So let me introduce myself …
My name is Lauren Hasson and I help college students and recent graduates all over the nation land their dream job or internship!
And I not only absolutely love what I do, but also really enjoy dishing-out advice on all things career and internship search-related!
I’m a self-described read-a-holic (I read all the college career advice books so that you don’t have to!) and I’m an avid writer. In the rest of my spare time, I collect and watch “who-done-it” movies and follow Duke basketball – Go Blue Devils!
So why Duke basketball? Well, I also happen to have graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude from Duke with a triple major in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Economics.
After I graduated, I became an investment banker with Morgan Stanley and literally didn’t sleep for an entire year! Eventually the nights spent napping in my small cubicle got old so I packed-up my bags and moved back to Texas (I grew-up in Austin) to become the Lead Researcher at one of the world’s largest hedge funds.
But no matter how hard I tried to like my job – I just couldn’t. So in 2006 I said sayonara to my day job and signed-on to help college students and recent graduates pursue their dreams full-time.
And I couldn’t be happier!
