As I move into college and yet another group of people and opportunities, I believe that the ISM program and my previous experience in the industry will help me make the most of what is given to me.
One of the ways that my previous experience will benefit me is through finding a part time job through college. Personally, I believe that concurrently learning and working throughout college will be the best experience for me simply because I already have experience in the area and the practice portion of investing is much more important than the process of learning it. However, by trying to take on a new job at the beginning of my freshman year, I will have to be very prepared and comfortable with my workload, which is why I will be reaching out to my mentors to find out if they have any contacts in Austin that are looking for interns during the school year. Another place that I could find new opportunities for college is through the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting. Since I now have a small network of people that I know in Omaha, I am able to get access to professional meetings and company events, which allow me to to connect to an even larger national and global network of dedicated value investors. Through this group of people, I will be able to brand myself as a possible intern for some prominent small hedge funds in many different areas of the country, then exposing myself to their network and building an even larger web of relationships. Overall, over the next few months I will be looking for a new internship opportunity in Austin, where I will be attending college. My small network of talented investors at both Venable and the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting will be able to help introduce me to various different opportunities, and I hope to continue building my network of connections far into the future to expose myself to a world of brilliant minds and innovative ideas.
