“My very first experience at the ALPFA convention was great not only did I get the chance to network and learn from professionals I had fun while doing it. All professionals treated me like I was someone important, they treated me like I belonged, and being first gen, at times made me feel like I didn't. A constant flow of professional contact made me feel welcome both prior to and after interviews, and that is what this convention is all about. Its not just about landing your first job or new one, its also about enjoying it, forming new memories, and that is what I did.”
