Welcome To Hoo You Know

Here you’ll find the UVA career stories and advice you won’t find on LinkedIn.

Each week, we talk to an alumni – from recent grads to C-suite execs – about how their careers actually happened. The detours, the lucky breaks, and the people who helped along the way.

Here’s what you’ll get:

One short email every Tuesday at 10AM:

• Alumni interviews across finance, tech, gov’t, media, sports, healthcare, startups, and more – with simple explanations of their jobs and how they got there
• Practical guides for cold emails, coffee chats, and follow-ups
• Career theory – what students get wrong about success and strategy

If you’re here, you’re not behind. Week by week, you’ll see that:

• Success looks linear from the outside, but rarely was in reality
• Most people didn’t have it all “figured out” at 21
• It’ll all work out in the end, so relax a bit (take a deep breath, you’re fine)
