Graduation Date: May 2011

Company Name/Position Title: Plato’s Closet Visual

How the
Career Center helped you along the way:
 

My department chair informed me
about the job posting on Jeanette Knows Jobs, so I went to the blog and found
out how to apply! I’ve also practiced my interview skills with InterviewStream,
which really helped calm my nerves before any big interview!

Any insights that you have for current students

Know
your field, and know what you do well! The night before my Plato’s Closet
interview I read up on current fashion trends, and it paid off because I had to
put together styles in order to get the internship! It also pays to know the
company background, and discuss in your cover letter or during your interview.
