Center include assistance with individual planning, clarifying career goals
and objectives, resume writing, and interview preparation. A series of

topics such as personal branding, business etiquette, and networking help
prepare you for a variety of professional situations.
In addition to providing counseling services and workshops at all stages
of the career planning process, the Center also organizes job fairs and

corporate presentations are also popular forums for students to meet
prospective employers.
You are also given the opportunity to interact with hiring managers and
recruiters in more informal ways, including industry firm nights, corporate
visits, alumni mixers, and career panels. For example, recent career
panels focused on general management rotational programs and hosted
representatives from leading companies including Chevron, PG&E, and Intel.
Another panel, formed to address job opportunities in the energy field, drew
employers such as Genentech, Nextrials, and Aurora Biofuels.
