Working at the Career Success Center has allowed me to grow so much interpersonally and creatively. I liked that my team has created a welcoming atmosphere so that workers feel valued and encouraged to participate at their best.
What I wish was different
I wish I could work more here! Since I am a student worker, I’ve definitely had to divide my time between work and studies. However, I know if I worked here full-time, I know I’d be able to make an even bigger impact.
Advice
Learn more about your bosses! This will allow you to maintain intellectual conversations with them!
