Spotlight on Expo Success: Akuba Torvikey
"My advice to other women would be to have patience, resolve, and take advantage of all the resources offered by Women for Hire."
After completing four years of college at a prestigious state university with no college loans, tons of community service hours, internship and externship experience, and a very decent GPA, I found myself questioning the value of a higher education. I decided that my first job out of college - manager trainee at a local car rental company - was not the direction that I wanted to go in my career. I decided to quit that job in order to find a career that better suited my goals and dreams. Little did I know the search would last two years. Over the next two years, I became a professional job seeker. I attended numerous job fairs and went through countless revisions of my resume. I began questioning why I even attended college. My morale was low and my self-esteem was shot. In order to make ends meet, I took a part time position at a bank while I continued my search. It seemed as though I could have used those four years I spent in college to get a head start into a real career.
In April 2006, I saw an advertisement for the Women for Hire career expo in Atlanta, Ga. that would later change my life dramatically. To my surprise, there were hundreds of women in attendance. As a result of the career fair, I was hired as Consulting Analyst with Accenture and moved to Washington, D.C. I absolutely love the company and admire the fact that Accenture & Women for Hire believed in me. This coming February, my company's Women's Networking Group announced that they would be volunteering at the WFH career expo in Washington, DC. I hopped at the chance to help. I only hope I can reach out to other women who, like me, just need someone to believe in them. My advice to other women would be to have patience, resolve, and take advantage of all the resources offered by Women for Hire.
