Melissa Wiegand ’13 Product Engineer

SolEpoxy, Inc.

The Office of Career Development assisted in every step of my search for full-time employment. I attended

their resume and interview preparation workshops as a

freshman, and the knowledge I gained there expanded as I began interviewing in my final year. The

career fairs they organize include a multitude of companies from

across the country and provide an excellent opportunity to meet

employers face-to-face, rather than submitting an online application.

Everyone in the office was friendly and welcoming whenever I stopped

in for advice. The advisors understood my interest in

polymers, and brought several new companies with related open positions to my attention. I am

grateful to have had such wonderful guidance as I

established my career path prior to graduation.

Nick Gentile ’13 TDP Engineer

Edwards Lifesciences The Career Development staff

was not only helpful when it came to reviewing my resume and cover letter, but they were always there to talk to and gain

another perspective. During the job search process, they

were encouraging when I decided to look beyond the

companies they have worked with previously and would

challenge me to push my limits not only as an engineer, but

also an individual.

Robert May ’13 Audio Engineer

MSNBC

I brought a very amateur resume and some optimism into the career office, and Katlyn, my career counselor, was

more than happy to help me with resume formatting, networking, and most importantly, general advice on

how to confidently speak with interviewers and recruiters. The

Career Development staff helped me find an internship with NBCUniversal and was supportive all along the way in my interview process. I learned to ask the right questions and pull off an elevator pitch, and I ended up with a

full-time job at MSNBC upon graduation.

Johnson & Johnson Recruiting Team Michelle Ribeiro ’11 & Juan Carlos Coronel ’11

Since I graduated in 2011, I have been

involved with recruitment for Johnson and Johnson. It's great to return to Stevens

and recruit top talent. But it's also a great joy given the hospitality of the Career

Development staff, and their fast response to our every request. I was very happy as a Stevens student looking for a

job and now from the other side as a recruiter hiring Stevens talent.
