Alumni Advice for Current Students
"You'll be surprised how many alumni are willing to help you simply because you went to the same university! I was initially scared to network, but I probably wouldn't have a job if I hadn't."
“Do not limit your job search to what you ‘think’ you want to do; you never know what you may discover about yourself. Make sure to ask others and find out ways to find out about careers and jobs you haven't even considered.”
“Enjoy being in the Brandeis bubble for a bit, but don't be afraid of life outside!”
"Go to the Hiatt Career Center early and often! Take your engagement seriously, practice for all interviews well in advance, and get yourself some professional attire before you even start thinking of interviewing."
“Don't be discouraged from the job search when others around you seem to be getting interviews; use it as motivation to keep networking and exploring different fields of interest.”
"If you want to get into grad school - you will, somehow, somewhere, even if it takes a while to find the right school. If you want to find a job - you will, even if it's the job you didn't initially think you'd want. If you have the right attitude, you'll enjoy what you're doing no matter where you are.”
"Quality trumps quantity in the job search. Have Hiatt, your family and your close friends look over your resumes and cover letters to increase your chances of getting that first interview. Sending out 40 hastily-made applications will be less effective than 5-10 great ones."
