Preparing students for the job search

Whether you’re an undergrad, graduate or alumni, the CBU Career Center is here to help you prepare for life after college. From career fairs to interview prep to work experience, students can take advantage of the opportunities available to them:

• Career fairs bring companies and organizations on campus.

• Career Center staff provide guidance and input through mock interviews and resume reviews.

• Students can borrow professional clothes to be interview ready.

Through each interaction, the Career Center intentionally prepares students on what to expect when they enter the professional world.

Lisa Blair, director of the Career Center, is grateful for the center’s achievements in continuing to foster student success and enhancing employer engagement.

“Through innovative programs, career guidance and an unwavering dedication, we have empowered CBU candidates with numerous opportunities for their professional and interpersonal growth,” Blair said. “The Career Center’s commitment to student success and strong partnerships with employers remains at the core of our mission. We aim to ensure that every student has the support and opportunities they need to excel in the ever-evolving professional landscape.”

Patricia Brenes (’23) utilized the tools offered by the Career Center to practice her interview skills and found the mock interviews and resume critiques to be helpful.

“The mock interview provided me with the confidence and strategies to stand out during the interview process,” Brenes said. “With respect to the resume critique, Lindsay Davis (Career Center counselor) provided feedback that added value to the information I provided about my professional experience and academic background.”

Brenes encourages students to take advantage of the services the Career Center offers.

“The staff is not only knowledgeable and friendly, but they know what employers are looking for and can guide students to success,” Brenes said.
