Welcome to SammyZellner.com! Here you’ll find tips and tricks for all levels of career development, but with a special emphasis on students and new college grads (since I am one myself!). My mission is to help you go after your dream job, no matter how out of reach it seems. I want to use this first blog post to help answer some questions you may have about me:
Who am I?
I’m Sammy Zellner – engineer, aspiring entrepreneur and professional speaker, and personal development junkie. I am always trying to leverage every opportunity I have to pursue the life want. Through my blog and my business, I hope to help you do the same.
Some fun facts about me:
- My favorite social media outlets are Pinterest and LinkedIn – let’s connect! I believe that these 2 social media platforms can really be utilized for job search and career development, more so than any others.
- While I consider myself an introvert, I love public speaking. Knowing that I can teach new skills to an audience of any size so that they can pursue their dreams is one of the most rewarding feelings to me.
- During school, I worked a few different part time jobs – including academic coaching, facilitated group tutoring, and undergraduate research. I found the experience I gained in these positions invaluable during my post-college job search.
- I am heavily involved in the Society of Women Engineers. During my undergrad, I was the University of North Texas section Event Coordinator for a year and section President for 2 years. I currently serve as the Dallas SWE secretary. My favorite part of this organization is the tremendous leadership opportunities it provides to its members.

Why am I blogging?
Ever since I was little, I always had big dreams about “what I wanted to be when I grew up”. My idea of a “dream job” has varied so much in my short 23 years of life – from professional TV chef to teacher to engineer. I want to use this blog to share my experiences in following my passions, job search, and career development so that I can help as many readers out their go after their dream job too.
