Interested in getting experience at a startup? Here are a couple great places to start!
Proactive Networking
Successful entrepreneurship is all about successful networking, which means you should be doing it too! Most startups include the contact information of their founders and employees on their websites. Reach out and ask for a conversation in-person, over the phone, or virtually to introduce yourself and
learn more!
The key to making satisfying life choices is being aware of the things you already know about yourself and the world, and using this acquired insight when faced with an opportunity, a crossroads or a new field.
Under “Employer” write down the skills, experiences, and values the employer seeks in an applicant. Under “Applicant” write down the specific skills and experiences you have that match the needs of your preferred industry. Think about soft skills (e.g. teamwork, communication, leadership), technical skills, and relevant experiences.
Portfolios are organized collections of images [e.g. graphic design examples, web design work, photography], writing samples, information, awards and acknowledgements that reflect your professional skills, experiences and accomplishments. Portfolios can either be online or kept in a professional binder. Hard
copy portfolios should have section dividers and cover sleeves, and reflect your best work [not all of your work].
Portfolios should be organized by skill, intuitive to the viewer and easy to explain during a job interview or networking opportunity. Many portfolios contain professional reels to illustrate skill in media production or performance.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

As you learn and build your career path, meeting new people and “enlisting”
them to your personal Board of Directors is a key strategy for success. Think
about the many people who have had (or could have!) a positive influence in
your life.
Look into the future and consider whom you might strategically seek out to add
to your board, in addition to staying in touch with those you already know. Every
person you encounter over time gets to see a different piece of you at your best
(and possibly worst) and can be called upon for insights into significant aspects
of who you have been and who you are becoming.
Build and use your Board of Directors to learn about yourself and to imagine and
discover YOUR possibilities. The benefits could include:
• Feedback on habits, patterns, and strengths that you haven’t noticed about yourself
• Advice on steps to take, people to meet, and resources or strategies to consider
• Insight into how your advisors have made decisions in the past and what other options
they considered
• Inside information about what a typical day is like
• Suggestions for opportunities that might excite you
Enlist a supervisor
Your supervisors are great advisors, even when you no longer work at the organization. Many
will suggest you stay in touch, or you could ask if they are open to the possibility.
Staying in touch doesn’t mean having to request something every time you talk. If you come
across information or do something that might be interesting to the person, share it! The
sentiment, “thinking of you”, goes a long way and can be a great reason to send an email or
pick up the phone.
Here are some great updates to share.
I thought of you when:
• I learned something in class.
• I saw something in the news.
• I used something I learned when working with you.
• I followed your advice.
• I mentioned you (or your organization) to someone.
Enlist a professor
Find something you’re genuinely curious about as a reason to talk. People, even professors
(!), tend to be flattered when others express interest in something that is important to them.
You can use the words, “I’m trying to understand…” as a way to start these conversations.
Some other examples might include:
• You mentioned… in your lecture. I’m trying to better understand how this connects to…
• We worked on… in the problem set. I’m trying to understand why this technique is
preferred over…
• Being a professor seems interesting to me. I’m trying to better understand what it is
like.
• Can you tell me about what you do? How you decided to do this? What else you have
considered? Who you work with?
• This topic is very interesting to me. I’m trying to better understand the ways that
it connects to opportunities outside of academic work. Do you know about this or
anyone who might?
• I learned a bit about your research and am intrigued by… Can you tell me more
about…
