Where are you now?
In June 2009 I will be starting my job as an IT Consultant at IBM in Essex Junction, VT.

What was the best part of using the Career Services Center in your job search?
The CSC was VERY helpful in my job search. I took advantage of the career campus visits and on-campus interviews. From utilizing the interviews, I was offered two career opportunities; one with IBM and another with SRA International. In these hard economic times, I am blessed to have been offered these wonderful opportunities. Thanks to CSC for providing this wonderful service to students and I encourage everyone to take advantage. They even have mock interviews with real companies to help you improve your interview skills before you actually go out on your job search.

Any advice you would give to other students?
As stated above, I encourage all students to take advantage of the mock interview sessions, company campus visits in addition to the on campus interviews. This is great because you do not have to travel anywhere; just walk down the hill and interview. Of course you still have to dress the part but you don't have to waste any gas if you live on campus already.
