“I needed help on my resume so I made an appointment with one of the Career Service staff members.  We went over my resume and formatted my education and work experience according to what the company was looking for.  In mid June when I was busy sending out applications I got a phone call from the 220th Judicial District offering me a job as a probation officer.  When I got the phone call, I was trying to remember when I applied for the position.  I was confused and then the lady on the phone said she got my name from the Career Service Online Job Center.”

“Career Services was there every step of the way.  They helped me update my resume and really gave it a professional look.  They also helped edit my cover letter.  I was selected for an interview with the Upward Bound Project at Richland College. 

I remained in contact with Career Services and I was given interview tips and encouragement.  Within a week I was asked to return for a second interview.  About 1.5 weeks later I was offered the job!  I gladly accepted, and I will start my job almost two weeks before I graduate from Tarleton State! Thank you Career Services for being there every step of the way!”

“I attended many of the Career Services events throughout my time at Tarleton. They provided many helpful and informational resources that contributed to the success of my job search. I tried to keep my resume up to date as well as I could, but at the beginning of my last semester I knew I had to get it finalized. Darla Doty and the entire staff in the Career Services Center were very eager to help me put the finishing touches on my resume. I interviewed with a few companies that I had made contact with from the Career Fairs at Tarleton, and received positive feedback and became more comfortable with the process.”

“Career Services assisted me with advice in regards to locating

a career that would fit my qualifications, skills and talents. I was given opportunities to meet with companies, set interviews, and discuss possible employment opportunities. Ms. Doty and Ms. Nimmo were very helpful when I would show up stressed-out and frustrated because of the lack of employment opportunities.

I do credit TSU Career Services with my success, they have taught me many lessons in seeking employment opportunities.

I recommend graduating seniors to utilize these services at least 1 year before they graduate.”
