Knowing that the world is full of uncertainties, he kept an open mind and applied to various opportunities including global awards, and full-time jobs. He credits the Graduate School advisors at the Career Development Center as a key factor that supported his application process. “Their guidance in interview questions and test preparation helped me refine my skills to excel in my applications.”
Omole’s hard work paid off and he received offers from Harvard Law School, the Schwarzman Scholarship, and two full-time jobs. It was time to make a difficult decision to choose one opportunity amongst several great opportunities. “I had a little voice in my head questioning whether I could land opportunities like those again, but it was just self-doubt. I quickly moved on from it after accepting the Schwarzman offer and reminding myself that I was on the right track and committed to the things I was most passionate about whilst on the journey.”
While he is in Beijing for the program, Omole is excited to immerse himself in the community and learn more about Chinese culture. “I am so eager to be going somewhere and getting to know the space, the area and the people…I’m just going to dive head-first when I get there and stay in the deep-end.”
