Student Testimonial
“I just made my first visit to Career Services
this week and I think it was an extremely helpful experience. As a senior, I
was aware of the services that were provided but I didn't realize how many
utilities there are in being able to talk to a person one on one. I thought
that I would be able to research and learn the information I needed to know
about careers online, but I should have taken advantage of a department that's
sole purpose is to support career development. I think I will probably use
Career Services more now. It's much more efficient than finding out things on
my own.”

Featured Employer: Alaska Airlines
Alaska Airlines is one of the most respected names in aviation and flies
throughout its namesake state and the Lower 48, as well as to Hawaii, Canada
and Mexico. Their roots date to 1932 and are symbolized by the Eskimo painted
on the tails of our aircraft. Guided by what we call the "Alaska
Spirit", they pride themselves on providing a lifeline to remote
communities while delivering renowned service to everyone they fly. This
commitment has brought Alaska Airlines national and international recognition:
They have ranked "highest in customer satisfaction among traditional
network carriers" in J.D. Power and Associates' North America Airline
Satisfaction Study for the past three years. They have also been honored with a
variety of awards by readers of Travel + Leisure, Conde Nast Traveler, USA
Today and others. Alaska is the dominant West Coast airline and, together with
its sister carrier Horizon Air, flies to more than 90 destinations.

Q&A
“How
important is it to follow up after a job interview, and how exactly should I do
that?”
Following up after an interview is
very crucial – oftentimes even if you don’t make the strongest impression in
the interview, the matter afterwards can steer the hirer in your direction. A
follow-up note is one of the best ways to keep in touch with the employer after
your interview. This follow-up note could either be an e-mail or handwritten,
but many would agree that e-mail is much more common and efficient nowadays. Be
sure to send it as soon as possible (within 24 hours of the interview), but
don’t forget to put a lot of thought into it as well. Make sure to make the
note original and tailored to the specific company you just interviewed with,
so they know about your potential commitment and dedication to their company.
Most importantly, don’t forget to thank them for their time and proof read
before sending it off!
