Jay Lagorio

 

B.S. in Computer Science
Dec. 2008

 

Where are you now?
Washington, DC working for the Department of Defense as a Computer Scientist.

 

What was the best part of using the Career Services Center in your job search?
CSC was responsible for the employer visit day that I attended before applying to DoD.

 

Any advice you would give to other students?
Start early and look broadly. If you need a security clearance, make sure you start at least a year before you need to graduate so that if any problems come up the extra time can be addressed. If you start a clearance
process you're not tied into the job, so there's no need to worry about whether something better will come along and you'll need to turn it down.
