Mackenzie Coughlin had recently graduated from Providence College and secured her dream job at LinkedIn when COVID-19 derailed those career plans. Mackenzie was less than a year into her new job when she became part of a large layoff at LinkedIn. Mackenzie shares how she got the job at LinkedIn - spoiler alert: she didn't intern there during her junior summer! Hear about what she did do in her summers (and as an undergrad) and how she leveraged those experiences to get into one of the most coveted sales programs in the tech industry. Her first two years out of college have not been a straight path but that's what makes her story so interesting and so very much worth the listen!
