Hi, I’m Sean and I’m not only a
freshman Biology major with hopes of going to medical school but I’m also a
proud student employee at Career Services. People ask me all the time what I do
as on office assistant at Career Services, and they are surprised when I tell
them that it’s not just the standard answer phones and emails. As a freshman
I’m already learning about searching for a job and learning useful skills that
I can apply to my career after graduation. There are only a few places that I
would be willing to work at and return as a customer, and this office happens
to be one of those great places. I love to fully take advantage of the help and
advice the advisors and staff have to offer, from resume and cover letter
advice, to interview preparation, to getting in touch with big and small name
employers throughout the year; not using this incredible resource would be a
mistake on my part. I grew up in the Puget Sound area and apart from a short
stay in Italy I’ve lived here my entire life and couldn’t imagine living
anywhere else. I love the Seattle weather, I love being surrounded by green,
and I love having the opportunity to be a student of Seattle University.
Featured Employer: Career Expo Highlights
On Wednesday, April 10th,
Career Services, in partnership with the Albers Placement Center, hosted our
annual Career Expo in the Campion Ballroom! Over 200 students attended the
event where they got a chance to meet and discuss full-time and part-time job
opportunities with 60 different employers.
Special recognition was given to
our two employers of the year, the Peace Corps and Amazon, for their dedication
to hiring SU students for full-time and internship opportunities, for the deep
relationships they have built with the various schools and college across
campus, and for the many ways in which their employees engage in meaningful
ways with our students and staff. Don’t
fret if you missed the fair – it’s not too late to connect with the employers!
Check out our Q&A section below for details.
A special shout out goes out to
Albers Placement Center, Alpha Kappa Psi, PRSSA, and other student groups on
campus who helped put on this successful event! Thank you all!

Q&A:
“I missed the Career Expo…Is it now too late
to check out which employers were there and to connect with them?”
No, it’s not too late at all! All
of the employers who attended Expo are still active in the Redhawk Network, and
many of the job opportunities are listed there as well. Be sure to search for
Event ID# 813 on RHN or take a
look at our webpage here for the
full listings. Don’t forget to stop by our office for Express Advising or make
an appointment with an advisor if you still would like advice or help on your
resumes and cover letters!
