Congratulations to **João Figueiredo** from** Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics **for winning **1st place** in our student testimonial contest,** #Hired: A True Symplicity Story. **

João is a Master's student who used Symplicity to find his summer internship. His submission earned him a **$500 Visa gift card** and a spot on the Symplicity website.

 

### **Our Other Winners Include:**

#### **2nd**** Place $250 Visa gift card: ****Katayoon Iravani, ****Law Student at Loyola Law School**

"I was able to use Symplicity to get hired at the IP firm that I have been wanting to work at for years. They made it easy for me to have the job posting available, what documents were needed to apply and lastly conveying what is needed to improve my Symplicity profile." - *Katayoon Iravani, Loyola Law School*

#### **3rd ****Place $100 Visa gift card:** **Orela Anani. Senior at University of Maryland **

"I used the advanced search option and used keywords such as human resources, human relations, federal, government, and communication. Then I narrowed down my options based on location and proximity to Washington, D.C. Afterwards, I applied to internships that interested me. Within days I was offered interviews and eventually selected for my summer internship." - *Orela Anani, University of Maryland. *
