As adult MBA student I came to the Career Services Team with 14 years of industry experience and felt stuck. They helped me discover options that not only fit my skills and experience, but also what areas would be a fit for ME. In addition to this, they taught me how to market my strengths and skills rather than getting bogged down with only seeking to do what I had already done. Thanks to their advice from application to negotiating pay, I have recently accepted a position with a new company that is a great fit for my skills.

I came to the Career Services Team confused and nervous as my graduation came closer. The pressures of finding a job/career weighted on along with a basic resume. As the pressure grew, I decided to utilize the resources of Northwood. They talked to me about future plans and career direction. They broke each step down for me so that I could assess my past, present, and future progression. They educated me on how to look for career information, who to look for, and how to interact with that new/foreign network.

The Career Services Team were fantastic guides through the process of readying myself to make a career change. They were warm and encouraging while critically examining my progress. They are up to date with all the activity in the recruiting market, and they know exactly how to present your best self. I can easily give them credit for being the biggest influence in my new career!
