In episode 636 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out what stood out to Michelle in her recent program she delivered at the University of Central Arkansas, why first impressions are still so underestimated by college students today, what are the most common first-impression mistakes she sees students make when meeting employers, how you reframe networking in a way that feels more authentic, how fraternity and sorority members use their chapter roles—president, treasurer, recruitment chair—as real networking advantages, why employers care more about communication and presence than a perfect GPA, what communication skills separate candidates who get callbacks from those who don't, what surprised her about what students at UCA didn't know, how students leverage alumni connections more effectively without feeling like they're "asking for something", and why programs like this are essential for Greek communities right now. Enjoy!
