As a mid twenty year old, I have to say there are a lot of similarities between professors/TA/office hours, and recruiting/working. When I was in undergraduate, I desperately needed to get help at office hours many times, but never felt comfortable doing it, sometimes feeling I would annoy the professor. Likewise, that’s how I treated recruiters for the most part. Like they were some robot that doesn’t understand my situation and are only helping because they have to. Fast forward to the working world, suddenly your manager and peers are all trying to work together for the most part. Likewise recruiters are constantly hitting you up, some causally too. It changed my view of what school could have been once I realized that my bosses and recruiters were just peers at the end of the day. I could and should have been more confident going to as many office hours as needed, but you know, hindsight is 20/20.
