  • "Whitney was very helpful in assisting me in refining my résumé and looking at alternative careers that I could pivot to…I have found employment and I know that Whitney was an important part of the process."

  • "Career Services helped me by streamlining my résumé, brainstorming job search ideas and refining where I could best leverage my skillset and work experience for a more targeted job search. The Zoom group meetings were particularly helpful as during COVID it was encouraging to hear and share job search challenges with others in the same situation."
    Karen
  • "I did not even know how much I needed the guidance! I received support getting my résumé updated, learning how the field I work in operates, how it has changed since I last looked for a job many years ago, and most importantly I had a sounding board to work through my feelings on the process."
