A post from student blogger Brittany<\/em><\/p>\n

These last few weeks I\u2019ve been in a haze of stress with the semester wrapping up, preparing for my last two business plan competitions and the bane of my existence aka the job search.<\/p>\n

I am happy to report back to you all that I successfully completed my final capstone presentation yesterday morning. Although I was dead tired due to my presentation being at 8:30am and not getting much sleep, I got great feedback about my client counseling skills and my understanding of patent law.\u00a0 It was a great feeling to know that I could convey my knowledge of patent law in a manner that was beneficial to my client while responding quickly to questions from the MSPL program director and the Office of Technology Transfer. After working on my PhD for 5 years, it is pretty crazy to think about the amount of information I\u2019ve been able to retain about a completely new field in less than a year.<\/p>\n

One another note, I HAVE A JOB!!!!! I officially accepted an offer from an amazing firm in Downtown Chicago as a technical advisor and I can\u2019t wait to start. Receiving the offer was pretty much the highlight of my year. \u00a0I\u2019d begun to accept the possibility of not have a job following graduation and having to hustle and bustle during the summer to find a position.\u00a0 I cried like a baby when I got the offer and shared the news with my mother who then shared with the entire world (I guess you can say she was proud of me). It\u2019s such a relief to no longer have that on my plate.<\/p>\n

Winning my last two business plan competitions and passing the patent bar are the two things can make these last months at Notre Dame any better. This year has been a roller coaster ride but it hasn\u2019t quite come to a complete stop just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
