The professional development opportunities I’ve been afforded are unparalleled, from comprehensive practice interviews to improving my verbal communication skills by critiquing student resumes. The OCE was instrumental in obtaining my dream summer internship with Goldman Sachs in Jersey City. Thanks to the OCE, I gained the tools I need to become a competitive candidate and instrumental contributor to any team I join.Hanna Brzoza ’18, International StudiesOCE worked with me from the very beginning to when I was offered the job. The staff diligently helped me with my resume, my interviewing skills, and gave me advice on what to wear for both interviews. The practice interview was extremely helpful because we worked through questions I didn’t know how to answer that I actually ended up being asked. Rebekah Frater ’18, Business Administration, Management concentrationFrom getting my first resume review to interview practice for my internship, OCE has been there every step of the way. Handshake helped me get an internship at USLI during an  on-campus interview day. Now that I am graduating, I have used their graduate school counseling to ensure that I was accepted into my MBA program at Loyola University Maryland. Mahlon J.

In the fall of my junior year, I sought out personal help from the OCE, and I have not looked back since. With the OCE staff’s career expertise and guidance, I was able to obtain paid internship positions related to my major throughout my junior year and secure a full-time job upon graduation, which derived from an internship. I found every opportunity through Handshake and worked extensively with the OCE when applying to each position. From every appointment scheduled—whether career counseling, resume revising, or practice interviews—I received the best effort from the staff. I truly am grateful for the opportunities they helped me acquire. I give the OCE full credit for my career success and, had I not sought out their help when I did,  I not be in the position I am in.When it comes to career planning, guidance, and support, the OCE has been a wonderful resource throughout my time here at Arcadia.KEITH BACOTE ’18Accounting MajorFinancial Analyst,  JPMorgan Chase & Co.
