TACKLING THE TECH WORLD WITH CONFIDENCE When it came time for my job search, the Kellogg Career Management Center (CMC) was exceptional. I knew I wanted to work in a technology-related company in the San Francisco Bay area. CMC gave me every tool in the book, and my career coach was so invested in helping me find my ideal job and celebrated with me when I did. I’ve never studied or worked harder, but this was the best use of 10 months I could possibly imagine.
“ You will come out smarter, more confident in your skills and totally prepared to stand out in any industry you choose.”
