Demystifying the recruiting process | Campus to Career

Watch this panel to get a behind-the-scenes look at what a recruiter looks for in a resume and job application. We had real recruiters from top employers talk about their mindset when starting the search, do's and don'ts on resumes and Handshake profiles and how to get a leg up in the process, so you can go from application to offer letter.

In a discussion moderated by Alex Schudy, Content Creator, you'll hear from experts including:

Gaby Flores-Sanchez, Recruiter, University Relations | Warner Bros. Discovery
Gaby started her career right out of college in a fast-paced staffing company where she quickly learned that HR was the place for her to be. Quickly into her career path she realized that her passion lied in connecting college students with opportunities and seeing their potential and development. She received her undergraduate degree in Public Relations from Rider University and a degree of Master of Professional Studies in Human Resources and Employment Relations with a concentration in Training and Development from Penn State University.
Prior to joining WarnerMedia, now Warner Bros.

Janel Houston, Lead Recruiting Specialist, Deloitte
Janel is a Political Science grad from the University of Minnesota who admittedly was beyond intimated of the idea of attending a career fair or speaking with a campus recruiter in college. Although she never considered exploring HR as a student, she found her passions aligned to a career in HR a few years after graduation through a not so typical journey and has since worked in campus recruiting for over 8 years. She has experience in both graduate and undergraduate recruitment across a variety of industries and is currently a Lead Recruiting Specialist at Deloitte where she supports the company’s National Campus Programs team, continuously energized in her role by the opportunity to empower students to unleash their potential and explore career possibilities.
