She met Sheena Myles at a meet and greet session for Ford at the COB. During the presentation, Sheena talked about how Ford values and encourages diversity throughout the company, particularly with the use of affinity groups. After the presentation, Yolanda sought out Sheena and talked with her for about 5 minutes. During the conversation, Sheena was kind and encouraging, telling Yolanda that Ford is always looking for people like her, with a background in finance. Sheena gave her a business card at the end of their conversation, which was one of at least a dozen she had at the event that day. She did not offer to review Yolanda’s resume or to help her get an internship; she simply had a short, polite, professional conversation. Yolanda really wants to continue to connect with Sheena, because she thinks Sheena could be a good mentor. Yolanda sends the thank you email below. To: Sheena Myles From: Yolanda Peoples Subject: Thank you for talking to me the other day Date: September 10, 2019 Dear Ms. Myles, I am Yolanda Peoples, a BBA student at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, College of Business. I was so excited that you took the time after the Ford presentation to talk with me one-on-one about my career goals and your own career path, which is exactly the path I see myself following. Your insights about diversity at Ford, specifically about being a woman and a person of color, were illuminating. I hope we can keep in touch! I’ve attached my resume for your perusal. If you have any suggestions for how I can improve it, please let me know. Also, you can feel free to share it with anyone at Ford who is looking for a corporate finance intern who also has a strong background in coding. If there is any other advice you might have for me, please feel free to share that as well. I really appreciate your time and your kindness. Best wishes, Yolanda Yolanda Peoples UM-Dearborn College of Business ypeoples@umich.edu 555-555-1212
