Employer Relations Student Assistant

August 2018 • Fairfax, VA

What I liked

The staff was incredibly friendly and always willing to help out anytime. University Career Service's top priorities are the students at George Mason University, current students and alumni, and it shows in the work and events that the staff manages. This was the perfect work environment, especially for any current student, because the supervisors were accommodating with work and class schedules.

Advice

Take advantage of every opportunity given to you, the connections you make through UCS are ones that will help you achieve your professional and career goals. The staff are always there to extend a helping hand but you have to be willing to take the help and listen to their advise.

Student Assistant / Front Desk

May - August 2019 • Fairfax, VA

What I liked

My experience working as a student assistant was unique, empowering and full of knowledge. Everyone in the UCS team is very friendly and willing to teach you new things. This position made me step out of my comfort zone and made me work on skills I never thought I had.

What I wish was different

Advice

One piece of advice I would like to share is to not be afraid to ask questions, get involve and to enjoy your time there. There are so many opportunities in UCS and I am so thankful I got to be present to experience them.
