THE MAIN STUFF:

• Zach Gibson started his career as a financial analyst but felt complacent and wanted a new challenge.

• He now works for Sunrun in the Fusion department, which focuses on direct-to-home sales of solar panels.

• Zach emphasizes the importance of finding a job that excites and motivates you, even if it means leaving a stable and structured career path.

• Staying motivated and maintaining a positive mindset is critical, especially on tough days.

• Focus on principles and personal growth rather than a specific career path.

• Don’t forget to step back and take moments to enjoy the journey, although every day might not feel like it, the work you’re doing today will pay off in the long term.

• Challenge yourself to learn and improve, being uncomfortable is a sign that you’re making progress.

THE MAIN STUFF:

• Attending industry events when you're a student is a HUGE advantage
• Industry events provide access to TONS of professionals and the opportunity to LEARN about cutting-edge industry topics and technology.
• Being exposed to the latest trends and tech in the industry as a student can give you a competitive edge in the job market.
• Building relationships with PROS at these events WILL OPEN DOORS!
• PROS LOVE TALKING TO STUDENTS
• The BEST networking and conversation tends to happen outside conference sessions - THE COFFEE LINE and AFTER PARTIES.
• If you need help finding an industry event to attend, REACH OUT :)
