Testimonials

The students that I had the pleasure of meeting came well-prepared, well-dressed and excited to have the opportunity to do a mock interview. Part of my personal and professional goal is to guide soon-to-be college graduates towards a dream job in an ideal company. Being able to see the drive and professionalism they are learning in the BSAD 333 come to life, makes those goals of mine a lot more attainable.

-Amanda McQuillan, Director of Recruiting, Renaissance Financial

Thank you so much for providing this kind of class for students. It is really helpful for me since I don’t have any one to teach me about this thing at home, and don’t really know where to get this helpful information outside the class.

-BSAD 222 Student

I really did enjoy the course. I didn’t find it to be a waste of my time at all. Every week I learned something that pertained to my future in the business world, and they were all things that I believe will help me in the future.

-BSAD 444 Student

I really like the class. At the beginning, I found that this class had so many things to do but then I realized that the homework was really helpful for us. I really appreciated what the instructors have done and helped us. I saw their enthusiasm when they wanted to help us to be successful in what we have chosen and direct us to a right way. I also appreciated the tips they taught us to do well in the interview or how to prepare well for an interview. I want to say a big “thank you” to everyone at the Career Service. Thank you so much!
