Featured Staff
Welcome to Career Services everyone! My name
is Nina Cataldo and I am one of the office assistants here. I am a sophomore
from Portland, Oregon, majoring in Strategic Communication and minoring in
Creative Writing. This is my second year working at Career Services and I
wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world. I love getting hands
on experience helping plan and execute events on campus for my peers and being
that bridge for many employers to our students. My passions to help others and
to write also come together through this blog, which I write for every week…so,
I hope everyone enjoys it! I cannot thank this office enough throughout my
career discernment process in college; every day, I continue to develop myself
as a student, a professional, and a person who can reach out to others to do
the same. I am always happy to answer any questions and help my peers both
during work and in my free time, so feel free to come chat with me if you see
me around campus or in the office!

Q&A
"What is the importance of LinkedIn, how should I use it?"
Theresa Brostowitz: LinkedIn is a way to
create a strong and professional online presence. When a potential employer,
graduate school, or internship supervisor Google's your name, they should be
presented with appropriate and professional information about you.
Maggie Heier: LinkedIn has helpful webinars to
help people understand how to create a profile and use the site. Here is a link
that lists several: http://help.linkedin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/530
Students can view the LinkedIn 101 webinar to
learn some of the basics and get started building their profile.
Sarah
Thomson: After successfully creating a LinkedIn,
remember to
1) Complete your profile 100%. It takes two
recommendations to have a completed profile
2) Always personalize your invitation to
"connect."
2) Primarily focus your relationship building
within your 1st and 2nd level connections.
