Career Week is Right Around the Corner

By: Meredith Aronson, Career and Professional Development

Greetings from Career & Professional Development. Fall is my favorite time of the year here at Gonzaga because not only is campus absolutely beautiful, but it’s also busy with exciting career development events! We enjoyed meeting many parents and families during orientation weekend, and we heard loud and clear that career services are important to you, so keep an eye on our segment of this newsletter and our website for information about upcoming events.  Also, make sure you encourage your student to mark his or her calendar for the following upcoming events:

Oct. 26-30, Career Week: A week of events for students and employers to network, build relationships, and develop career opportunities.

  • Monday, Oct. 26: Speed Mock Interviews
    Hemmingson Ballroom | 5:30-7:00pm
  • Tuesday, Oct. 27: All Majors Career & Internship Fair
    Hemmingson Ballroom | 12:00-4:00pm
  • Wednesday, Oct. 28: Engineering & CS Majors Career & Internship Fair

Hemmingson Ballroom | 12:00-4:00pm

Recurring events and activities:

  • First Thursday of each month: Resumania! “If you feed them, they will come…” Free pizza for students who stop in to learn about resumes or get a resume reviewed! 12noon
  • Every Monday-Friday: Scheduled, individual appointments. Your student can make an appointment to meet with one of our career coaches individually. Request an appointment on ZagTrax.net.
  • Monday-Friday, 1pm-4pm: Open Hours. We have career coaches on-call for the whole afternoon so your student can just pop in whenever and get some assistance, no appointment necessary!

As you can see, we have a lot of amazing opportunities and events coming up. Encourage your student to take advantage of all of our events, and to come see us early and often. It’s never too early (or too late) to get started on career development!
