Inside the Dome shares the stories of the Southeast Missouri State University community through in-depth interviews. In this episode Director of Career Services Dan Presson gives us the inside story on transitioning into the professional world.
Southeast graduate Alona Perera posted about the help they received on LinkedIn. Career Services not only helped Perera with practical skills like resume writing and job searching, but the team helped them find a career they could be passionate about going forward.
"I reached out to a source that might sound a little unorthodox... I reached out to the Career Services office at my alma mater, Southeast Missouri State University! So far, I already am starting to feel the wheels turning after a couple years of struggling post-graduation! I met with a career counselor, and I'm going to continue meeting with her, to find what truly sets my heart on fire when it comes to work that I do. I might even consider going back to school for a second undergraduate degree or going to get my masters degree! She's not only helping me understand my many passions and how they all fit together to find the career path that's right for me. If you haven't reached out to the Career Services office of your college, DO IT! It's a source for help that I previously had never considered, but I'm glad I have now. If they're good at their job, they'll help you find your way!"
