For me, the Office of Career Education was the perfect way to jumpstart my ideas in the right direction for both. During my last semester as an undergraduate student, I went to the career center seeking guidance on updating my resume and writing my personal statement. The career education team was welcoming, motivating, and made sure I left with a finished product that I was proud of.”

“Attending Marshall University and connecting with the community has been a great learning experience and has offered me many opportunities. During my final semester of my master’s degree program, I decided that I wanted to move away from Huntington, WV but I had no connections in other areas. I visited The Office of Career Education unsure of how I was going to find a job, but I left with a game plan. Denise Hogsett immediately knew how to help and who I should reach out to for additional advice. Within a couple of weeks, I had found a job and created so many valuable relationships. I hope that everyone visits Career Education and utilizes the opportunities that they can help you find!”
-Shawna Bartram, Master of Science in Accountancy

You all took the time to prepare me for my interviews, develop my resume along with other key factors that helped me find my job.

I’m now in a business development role with a growing company and I am grateful for the help from Career Education that got me started on this career path.”

-Nick Hemlepp
“I have a job, thanks to the help from Denise Hogsett at The Office of Career Education. She helped me prepare for employment opportunities which resulted in me landing a full-time job with Frito-Lay/PepsiCo as a Sales District Leader. Joining Career Champions was how I first met Denise. She was welcoming and interested to help from the beginning. She helped me assess what I wanted to do, with my resume development and revision assistance and assisted me with looking for internships through JobTrax. She helped me with everything from how to approach situations, what to wear, proper manners, and performed mock interviews. It was Denise that provided the opportunity to meet the PepsiCo rep that resulted in me getting a job. She encouraged me to follow up and to send him an email with my resume. When I was called for an interview, I was prepared and that made me calm and confident to do well. And I nailed the interview! Honestly, I can say it was Denise’s expertise that enabled me to come out of college with an awesome career! Her positivity, enthusiasm, and patience made the process a great experience. I can’t thank her enough. I would highly recommend for every student to explore the Office of Career Education at Marshall. ”
-Morgan Cain
“It’s important for students to prepare for their careers, even as freshmen. I asked the Office of Career Education to talk to my sophomore class. They went above and beyond my expectations. They suggested helpful activities that they could include, despite the extra work it would cause their staff. They helped students create and polish resumes, provided the opportunity for them to practice interviewing, and helped them develop personal statements. They provided feedback to each student and worked with the class to help them understand self-marketing expectations and parameters. They made my job much, much easier, for which I am very appreciative.”
-Carla Lapelle, HON 200 instructor

Thanks for all your help!”
