Forage is a FREE resource where you can engage in virtual job simulations to experience a day-in-the-life at real companies like JP Morgan Chase, lululemon, Citi, Goldman Sachs, PepsiCo, and more. The simulations are designed to replicate the sort of work that you would undertake while working for that company. All simulations are self-paced (taking between 2 to 4 hours to complete) ensuring ultimate flexibility! Better yet, Foragers are more than 3x as likely to land a job after completing a job simulation!
