💡 Tips from a student: It’s never too early to see a career advisor
I had my first meeting with Career Services online during the summer when I was in the Quickstart program. I got help refining my high school resume, which was a pile of mess, into something that I could use to apply for research on campus. I spoke with CALS Career Services and they helped me format my resume and we talked about different career opportunities within Genetics.
