Hi Rebecca,

Thank you so much for your question.

As a matter of fact, I didn't study business in my bachelor, I was a trained Human geographer and urban planner. So I fully understand where your concern is from. Based on my past experience, I think most companies are quite open to candidates with different background, but it's also important for us to show certain business acumen and communication skills in the recruiting process.

I would recommend you start with an internship that's more “business-relevant” and participate in different networking events as an ice-breaker.

At DHLC, we actually have colleagues from different major and background, e.g. Medicine, Liberal Arts, Philosophy, etc. This is also an important part of our culture and key elements to bring in more creativity in our work :) 

Hope this helps!

Best,

Nancy
