I was particularly impressed by Katherine’s ability to handle even the most resistant students —effortlessly.

Aug 2021 - Present
As a Career Specialist I am proactively developing partnerships with students and graduates to provide consultative services geared towards career planning and job search strategies. I offer coaching on effective resume writing, the use of social media in job searching, networking advice, and successful interview practices. I also work to mentor and coach students in their development of life skills such as time management, business etiquette, communication, and other soft skills to support them in becoming strong candidates for employment. In addition to supporting students and graduates, I also research and proactively reach out to potential employers to develop partnerships to meet their needs as well as our student's and graduate's.

As a Career Services Advisor I helped students with job skills that allowed them to be successful in their job search upon graduation by: 1. Developing resumes for specific job openings to highlight relevant skills and experiences. 2. Streamlining the job search process by sharing job opportunities through our Employment Relations Team as well as coaching on job search strategies, websites, and resources. 3.
