Spring Quarter To-do List

Your future career is likely to be one of the most significant parts of your life, so it is crucial to find a path that reflects and harmonizes with who you are. Focus 2 provides a variety of assessments, such as personality, interests, and values, and then lists careers and majors that match your results. Create your account via CareerExpress, an online suite of tools provided by the Career Center.

Focus 2

Through the On-Campus Interview (OCI) program, employers from a variety of industries come to campus to conduct interviews for full-time, entry-level, salary-based positions requiring an undergraduate or graduate degree. Sign up for interviews you qualify for via the Golden Eagle CareerLink, an online career central provided by the Career Center.

On-Campus Interview Program

Owen Wilson and Steve Dunkerken come from academic backgrounds that may seem unusual for the founding of Ritual Brewery. Owen graduated with a degree in psychology and Steve a degree in finance – both are alumni of the CSU. According to Steve, there is a strong need for the sciences in the beer industry and in California, with over 700 breweries, you’ll find a career. Learn more about their brewery and others in Southern California on April 11, 2018 at Careers in Beers, a discussion with industry employers.  

Ritual Brewery Ritual is located in Redlands, California, about an hour east of Cal State LA.
