2. What is your overall perspective on the entrepreneurship experience?
Entrepreneurship is a experience that requires passion, hard work, and dedication. As a young college
student, I don’t have much firsthand experience of being an entrepreneur, but I have observed and
analyzed the experiences of many successful entrepreneurs. My overall perspective on
entrepreneurship is that it is a challenging yet rewarding experience that requires a lot of effort and
determination. Entrepreneurship provides individuals with the opportunity to turn their ideas into
reality. It allows them to create something unique and innovative that can make a positive impact on
society.

3. How did the entrepreneurship prepare or not prepare you to be a competitive candidate for vacant
positions?
Entrepreneurship is a challenging and rewarding career path that can prepare individuals for a variety of
professional opportunities. As an entrepreneur, I have learned valuable skills that have helped me
become a competitive candidate for vacant positions. Entrepreneurship has taught me the importance
of self-motivation and perseverance. Starting and running a successful business requires dedication,
hard work, and the ability to overcome obstacles. These qualities are highly valued by employers who
seek candidates with a strong work ethic.
4. What suggestions do you have to improve the experience?
There are some suggestions that can improve the experience of being an entrepreneur. Writing down
your goals and fully think out your plans. Making sure that you fully research what you are going into.
Before establishing your business or product figure out your targeted audience. Lastly, go in with the
mindset that you are going to face some challenges and some failure so you will be prepared to
overcome and accomplish your goals.
5. What’s next for you? One of the most important things to do if you want to be successful in any
field is to build a network of individuals of many different fields. This is what I’m going to do next as
networking is one way to start new ventures and new opportunities. I also want to find and connect
with a mentor. As a mentor can provide guidance and support share their experiences and insights to
help entrepreneurs avoid common pitfalls.
