They have made themselves available to answer any nagging questions or issues that stress you out. Also, flexible enough to accommodate personal issues that might affect performance.
How will this degree set you up for success in the future?
I have all the technical tools required to thrive in business, but more importantly, I know how to be a professional and own my career.
What career support did you receive from the Mason School Graduate Career Management Center (GCMC)?
GCMC was instrumental in securing my internship. Working with my advisor to interview prep. She had all the information on potential questions, interview style, etc. Hence I wasn't caught unawares during my interview. Also connecting me to different people who also prepped me.
What was your internship recruitment/interview process like?
I applied online, got invited to complete an online assessment, and did three more interviews and an informal chat to decide the best fit. The interview was tough, but I felt well prepared by my career advisor.
