Tiffany Chin ’10

From Bruin Career Insights: Maximizing Your UCLA Network
“My go-to when I don’t know what to talk about is the acronym F.O.R.D. which stands for Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams. Pick one of those categories to discuss and that opens up a conversation that can last at least 15 minutes. It becomes more natural when you can speak as yourself.”
