WHY
I like to build strong relationships with students that will foster trust and motivation for obtaining the career results they came to American National University to achieve. I demonstrate to the students through the career workshops, employer days, career fairs, one-on-one counseling, day-to-day discussions, and hiring managers leads- all of which will encourage each of them to know they are prepared to seek a new career, that they can make a difference in the real world, and most of all, that they are on track to becoming successful individuals, both professionally and personally.
Sharing my experiences from the “hiring side of the desk” [in corporate recruiting] afforded me credibility with the students to assist them in preparing their resume and to teach much needed interview techniques.
One of my favorite moments is ringing my bell when a student or graduate has received a job offer in his or her field, and then having the privilege to announce it to everyone.
