My advice for the people that don’t know what to do is when you are scrolling on your phone at night, just look into stuff. That’s all I was doing, going on career websites and looking at job descriptions to see what I could do. Anything you are qualified for, or could be qualified for, if you put your mind to it, you can do it. You can’t lose anything from applying.”
