The #1 reason students attend college is to get a better job. What many students don’t understand, however, is that simply earning a degree is not typically sufficient for career success. Additionally, many rely on outdated information and inaccurate advice from family, friends, social media and the like when making critical decisions about how to spend their time and build their marketability for career positions. In this session, we’ll share findings from national surveys about what employment recruiters look for when hiring new college graduates. While some of it may be old news to you, some of it may surprise you!
Looking for secrets to transfer success at the University of Washington? UAA Advising invites you to join us for this transfer success panel, where current UW transfer students will share insight from their own experiences getting started at UW on how you can build on your transferable skills to make a smooth transition in and discover all the amazing opportunities available for you. Come join others from the UW transfer community as you learn about involvement, resources, academic success tips, places to explore, and much more!
In this workshop, you’ll learn what internships are; why you’d want to do one; and concrete steps you can take to set yourself up for success in the internship search process. We’ll also show you how to find internships that interest you in Handshake.
Are you an incoming transfer student interested in undergraduate research?
