Career Peer Advisors

Career Peer Advisors (PA’s) are students just like you! Not only can they help you navigate the job search process, but they have a first hand understanding of the student experience. PA’s are great for getting personalized general support such as resume reviews, general career questions, and more!

Career Peers Advisors can help you by:
  • Reviewing your resumes and cover letters or providing information on how to get started
  • Helping you to set up and maximize your LinkedIn profiles
  • Preparing with you for networking events and Career Fairs
  • Assisting with job and internship searches and providing interview tips & practice
  • Supplying information on Career & Professional Development programs, services and resources
  • Answering general career-related questions
  • Presenting on career-related topics to your student organization or class

Designated Staff Career Advisors

Designated Career Advisors are advisors on staff here at CPD that serve specific student populations and colleges. Every student has a designated CPD advisor who serves their college and specializes in an adjacent industry. Career Advisors can help you with everything a PA can, but they can also help you address the personal and specific needs that arise from during the career search process. Career Advisors are great for exploring industries, helping you with networking, and offering personalized specific support. To find out who your designated Career Advisor would be, click here. To make an appointment, register online through PCO.

Assistant Director, Internship and Career Advisor

“What do you do for students at your job?”

I motivate and coach each student in a customized and unassuming way. My objective is to equip them with the tools needed to be successful. End goals come first and I use best-proven methods to help them accomplish their goals.

“Who are you? What do you want everyone to know about you? What do you enjoy?”

Being with others, laughing and exercising are some of the things I enjoy. I am an active person who likes sports and holds a strong work ethic.

“Why are the Career Center services meaningful?”

Career & Professional Development makes the overwhelming easy. We offer a customized approach and a person that is willing to help you meet your specific needs and interests.

“In a quote, what do you say to yourself and students?”

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”— Tim Notke
