Last semester I went to the career services center at the Tempe campus to learn about opportunities and get some understanding whats next after I finish school and I really enjoyed my visit. When I went last semester I mainly just looked at internships and spoke to people about how to make sure my resume was up to standard and it was a great experience because I left the center feeling more optimistic than before I went into the career services center .Overall, I gained a better understanding for what kind of jobs are good for me and what careers suit my skills best.
The career services center was very useful and i'm glad ASU offers career assistance to current and graduated students. While at the career services center I completed some personal assessments and learned job search strategies. During my last year of school I plan to visit the career center more and attend some job events with the hope I can find some promising opportunity. As a senior my only regret is not being more involved with career services earlier on as a young college student. I feel I could have found some great opportunities and learned more about what it takes to get great job after school. The good part is I plan to take advantage of the the career services ASU provides and use it as a tool to help me perfect my interview skills and learn more about available positions that I qualify for. Within this stage of my schooling it feels great to know you have assistance getting to the next level of life.
I know how you feel about not utilizing career services earlier and completely agree. I spent so much of my time as an underclassman stressing out about finding a job after graduation and even just trying to find an internship. I went to one career fair and instantly connected with so many people and was able to get a good idea of where to apply. It even inspired me to apply to where I am currently interning! Like you I will definitely be using them as much as possible in the coming months leading up to graduation.
