Daniel Lopez-Marcano’s CTD Testimonial

“Ms. Picart invested her energy and attention into each participant’s success. Through her charismatic approach, she helped me understand the recruiter’s perspective and how I can prepare before meeting them to demonstrate my proactive mindset. To reinforce the impact she had on the meeting; her enthusiastic approach to our professional development ensured not only the reception of what was taught, but an understanding of how we can apply what we were learning moving forward. Her mentorship skills are fantastic.

In the later sections, where we workshopped our resumes and job-seeking habits, Ms. Picart took time with each of us—not just to refine our materials, but to cultivate a deeper understanding of what we offer recruiters. More importantly, she helped instill an underlying belief that we are valuable as prospective employees.

Returning to the theme of workplace empathy mentioned earlier, Ms. Picart playfully taught us the appropriate behaviors for entering both the recruitment process and the professional environments we’ll soon join. She emphasized that our role as employees is to bring thoughtful solutions to the recruiters we meet and to the managers who will oversee our growth once hired.

Drawing from her experience at FIU, she painted a clearer picture of the hiring process and job expectations across the fields I’m exploring. Her dedication to understanding my questions led to answers I had previously struggled to find. Through her expertise, she offered insights and solutions that I hadn’t been able to access in conversations with professors or general advising staff.”
