Our Services
Doing well and doing good go hand in hand.

Get Work Wednesday is a great opportunity for students to meet with local employers who are actively looking to hire on the spot!
Get Work Wednesday Tips:
- Bring a resume
- Have a positive attitude
- Think of questions about the company/companies in attendance
- Dress in appropriate clothing (while employers won't expect you to be in a suit, it's important your hygiene and clothing choice won't turn off a potential employer before they get to know you!)
If you need any help preparing a resume, getting ready for an interview or have any questions related to Get Work Wednesday, drop by the Career Services Center. We're happy to help!
