Alumni Advice to Current Students:

"As far as advice on getting a job, I would suggest working with Career Services and Student Employment Office. I found the mock interview to be helpful. I think the application and interview processes are extremely critical components in landing a job. Having a degree and good grades are great, but students really need to master those skills if they want to compete. The Career Services and Student Employment Office can teach students these vital skills."

"Prepare yourself for a job after graduation by volunteering and/or working in the field you want to work in while you are going through school. Doing this will help you to develop relationships (networking) to help you gain meaningful and related employment sooner!"
