Even if you’re just starting your college journey, it’s never too early to start thinking about your career! In fact, we recommend making an appointment at our Career Services Center as soon as your first semester at Pacific. It’s also a good idea to reach out to your academic adviser about networking and career development opportunities offered in your individual school or college.
Through a wide variety of events and programs at Pacific, you’ll have opportunities to sharpen your interview skills, network with top employers or get valuable guidance from experienced professionals. These opportunities will help you develop confidence and a competitive edge when you enter the professional world.
