A lot of times working in a career center is like swimming upstream; it’s tiring having to constantly illustrate how valuable our services are and make students believe us!

So in the great words of Hansel (he’s still so hot right now), “The results are in, amigo! What’s left to ponder?” Results from NACE’s 2010 Student Survey show: The likelihood of a student getting a job offer increased with the frequency of […]

You’ll want that first impression to be not just a good one, but also a great one. Not only do you need to keep a cool composure, be confident in your skills and know all about the organization you are interviewing with, you […]
