How did you get started with Jobbook?
Zack Newburgh, a co-founder of JobBook, wanted to find one college student from a select number of major universities to represent his company. A mutual friend suggested me for the position. Our friend thought I would be great for the position because, in my time on campus, I have been involved in a lot of extracurricular activities, such as being a Teaching Assistant and an RA.
