Student Testimonial
I visited Career Services toward the end of my freshman year. I
was a Psychology major and had taken my first Psychology class winter quarter
and decided that I really did not like it. I came in really confused and kind
of freaked out because I had no clue what I wanted to do. One moment I wanted
to do Psychology and the next I did not. Talking to an advisor in the Career
center really helped me out. It helps to talk to someone who will listen and
advise you on what you can do to decide on a major. Your major, even though it
is important, is not everything. It is how you market that major and what you
have learned to the person who’s interviewing you. I have also visited the
Career Services Center for Resume help and that was also really helpful. The
advisor goes through your Resume and let’s you know what can be done to improve
it. I have also recently learned that they also provide mock interviews. I kind
of wish I had known that sooner as that would have been helpful.

Q&A
“Do potential employers really search you on social media?
And if so, how do I protect my image?”
Many employers will definitely search you online before
hiring you. Often times, they will simply Google your name to see what images
and links come up associated with you. The best way to make sure you are
putting out the appropriate image online is to search yourself and see what
comes up. If you see anything you don’t want out there, try to find ways to
delete them so it is no longer up online. Another great way to ensure you’re
putting the appropriate professional image out there is by making sure your
LinkedIn is very up to date and professional – if that is perfected, it will be
the first link that comes up when employers search you! Remember – once you put
something out on the web it becomes public property so always keep your
professional image in mind before putting up unprofessional images or content!
