Pollak asserted five major points directed at current students and interjected witticisms and tangents for flavor. The audience was able to learn more about Pollak's background and witness her outgoing and friendly personality while she provided anecdotes about her sister and college experience.
"My favorite tip was how to clean up your e-mail and Facebook, and how to make everything professional," said Amanda Podmeyer, freshman, Beaford N.Y.
Pollak themed her lecture so it was appealing to the audience by focusing on tips concerning the job interviewing process. She covered everything from dressing the part of a businessperson to professionalizing voicemails and Facebook accounts.
While not all students present needed to start the career search right away, Pollak told the crowd that "it is never too early to start preparing for the real world."
"Do at least one thing every day to further your career," Pollak said.
Pollak's methods and ideas are accessible in her book or by searching www.lindseypollak.blogspot.com.
