Mia Talks to Co-Founder of SixFigureStart

SixFigureStart Coaching Interview

As a journalist I am used to speaking to extremely captivating and interesting people. However, even I was blown away with my interview with Caroline Ceniza-Levine. This woman is a firecracker! People always tell me, “Mia you are one of the most optimistic and inspirational people I know.” I would classify Caroline in this camp too. Caroline blew me away with her inspirational, yet candid and frank advice. But providing this advice is part of her job. Caroline is a career expert and co-founder of SixFigureStart (www.SixFigureStart.com), a career coaching firm that coaches Gen Y students and young professionals to launch fulfilling and financially rewarding careers. Caroline tells it like it is and doesn’t sugarcoat. I asked her a variety of questions including:
a.) “When an interviewer asks you, ‘Tell me about yourself,’ what do they REALLY mean?”
b.) Should you work for free to build up your resume?
c.) Should you do 2 internships in one summer?

After an hour or so speaking with Caroline I started thinking how great her advice would be to my friends at Harvard Business School. I’ve recommended numerous of my friends to check out her site. She blogs frequently and does many online workshops that are worth checking out. To see my interview with Caroline check out MBA PodTV's career related episodes, coming soon!

Take care,
