it is my pleasure to share the career

accomplishments of the Class of 2012. Six

Ranked 13th in the nation for “Best Career Services” by The Princeton Review in the 2013 edition of “The Best 377 Colleges”

The Career Development

staff was helpful in every

aspects of my job hunt, from

creating my resume to

accepting my full time offer.

Rob Coughlin

Manufacturing Technology

Engineer

DuPont

The Career Development staff at Stevens provided me with a level of

service far beyond my imagination. Over the course of my career as

a Stevens student, the Career Development staff assisted me in

landing an internship with a Wall Street bank and eventually securing

full-time employment at a Big Four accounting firm. I recommend

that all Stevens students utilize the services that the Career

Development Office has to offer.

Eric Kane

Advisory Associate

KPMG LLP

The Office of Career Development helped start my professional

career right from freshman year. Their seasoned and dedicated staff

aligned my professional and academic goals through a series of

internships and Co-Op. Thus, with strong academic background and

valuable professional experience, I became a qualified and highly

marketable candidate for my field. The Office of Career Development

was my gateway to success.

Bismark Polley, Jr.

Analyst

Credit Suisse Private Banking Americas

Throughout my 4 years at Stevens, I

was constantly going to Career

Development for advice on where to

apply and how to interview. The

staff helped me review my resume,

cover letters, follow up emails, and

virtually anything I needed to send to

potential companies. My senior year

they helped me to build a list of

companies that best offered what I

was looking for. With their help I

graduated with multiple offers in

various companies that I could see

myself working at. Everyone there

was always happy to help and

greeted me with a smile which made

talking to them and asking questions

very easy.

Michelle Galvez

Associate Project Manager

Shadow Financial Systems, Inc.

I had the opportunity to work with The Office of Career Development at

Stevens for three years and I found it to be the most helpful and well

run service at the school. The OCD is geared towards helping students

on a very interpersonal level so I was able to work with the same

advisor my entire time at Stevens forming a very strong

relationship. This counseling, which ranged from in depth résumé or

interviewing workshops to impromptu questions on how to word an

email, enabled me to take advantage of all the OCD has to offer and

graduate from Stevens with a strong résumé, two internship

experiences in my area of interest and a full time job offer with my first

choice company.
