Student Testimonial

"I met with James and he helped review my resume for me. He was very helpful and gave me a bunch of advice of how I could not only format my resume, but also looking at specific areas I could focus on in more detail in order to make it stand out better."

~Anonymous, Senior

Featured Employer: US Navy

The mission of the Navy is to maintain, train and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of engaging conflict, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas. Navy officers are highly trained professionals who lead the way in achieving operational and management requirements. They provide technical, managerial and scientific expertise in a wide variety of specialties at sea, in the air and on shore. Graduates will serve in officer communities including surface warfare, aviation, SEAL, supply, aeronautical maintenance duty, or submarines.

Currently, the U.S. Navy Engineering Officer Programs is looking to hire students for full-time positions and wants you to learn more about the opportunities with the Navy. They are particularly interested in students in electrical engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, math, chemistry and physics.

Please join us on Thursday, May 9^th from 12:30-1:15pm in the Pavilion Living room for an informational session! Lunch will be provided, and don’t forget to bring your resume!

Q&A

“I’m an SU student but don’t live near campus…is there any way I can meet with an advisor without physically coming to the office?”

Absolutely! We understand that there are many commuter students who cannot spend time on campus outside of their school schedules. As an accommodation, we offer advising appointments through Skype and phone sessions. These appointment requests can be made on our website through the Special Appointment Request Form. Please be sure to specify in the comment box that you would like to do satellite advising! Once the advisor emails you about the appointment time, it would be best to e-mail them any material you would like them to look over, such as a cover letter or resume, so they can look at it before and during your appointment.

Our office will also be hosting and recording Webinars so keep an eye out for those on our website! These webinars will range from training in how to use the Redhawk Network to how to write a resume and cover letter!
