“I am an English/theology major and I was able to participate in the mock interviews last year. Understanding what kinds of things to talk about on my resume was really helpful. My interviewer liked that I put my top five strengths from the Clifton Strength Finder which helped me explain why they made me a good hire. I definitely recommend that everyone come and participate in this event. It’s a great opportunity for networking and getting comfortable interviewing because that’s a skill you are going to need in the future.”
We connect you with internships that provide hands-on experience in your field of interest, helping you gain practical skills and build professional networks.
Our center provides professional attire for interviews, career fairs, and other professional events, ensuring you make a great first impression. Visit us in the Carey Center/First Floor.
