You’ve found your place and are doing your coursework here at Rose-Hulman, but what happens once you graduate? The post-college career world can be difficult to navigate, but we have so many resources right here on campus that can help students & alumni find the best career to fit their goals.
To tell us more, we are joined today by Scott Tieken, Director of Career Services & Kathy Kassissieh, Associate Director of Career Services and Employer Relations at Rose-Hulman.
With almost 2 decades each at Rose-Hulman, Scott and Kathy sit down with our student hosts Isaac and Reese about what career services has to offer, working with peer advisors, how its okay to not know what you want to do with your life big picture just yet and more that shows why the Princeton Review ranks us No. 10 in the nation for Best Career Services!
Episode Quotes:
How Rose-Hulman's career services benefits students
07:14 [Kathy Kassissieh] One thing that Rose-Hulman's career services office does that most schools do not, is we have one career services office for the whole campus. However, we have career advisors that are assigned to specific majors. And what happens there is it gives each of us, whatever major we are assigned to, we then can delve a little bit deeper into that. We get to know the professors who are teaching the classes. We get to know what you are learning in those classes and what skills you are gaining, which helps us be able to help you, the student, talk about what it is that you're learning.
How stepping out of your comfort zone can give you a headstart for career growth
23:19: [Scott Tieken] Let's not be so closed-minded on the front end. Let's get those offers, then decide what's the best fit for the company. What's the best size of the company? Do they do what I want to do? Are they where I want to go geographically? I think the earlier you step out of your comfort zone and try something new, the more it's going to reward your career in the long haul, and employers love to see that.
What makes Rose-Hulman’s career services unique?
19:49: [Kathy Kassissieh] It's getting to know you as a person, not just as a student, not just as a specific major, but you're going to sit down with your advisor and they're going to get to know you. And then, based on that, we're able to almost play like a matchmaking game where you're not going to just graduate with a job; you're going to graduate with a career.
