Maybe once or twice. But in my experience they told us opposite of what actual people in those career positions say. Granted this was 6+ years ago

Interesting. I'd like to know more about how other people experienced their careers centre. At the very least, I encouraged my students to visit them for proof-reading CVs and applications & practice interviewing skills, which they happily did at my uni.

Oh that stuff, yes def! But anything more specific than that ... most STEM jobs weren’t even posted at our career center. So it seemed kinda useless to me. I also might have just been cranky for 4 years lol.

Ah ha! Did they host careers fairs relevant to STEM, on campus? (LOL to cranky for four years. )

not that I remember. Me being cranky really is a possibility. I was a double STEM major with 2 jobs and leadership roles in student housing. Im honestly not sure how I survived.

You mentioned they said keep your leadership out of applications - please tell me you weren't encouraged to take out your leadership in student housing AT LEAST.

Of course I was! Student housing has nothing to do with SCIENCE Dr. Zevallos

I found a way to mention my resident assistant experiences in my essay bc there was no way I was letting myself go through hell and not brag about it
