Julian Colon ’15 Quality Engineer

Edwards Lifesciences

When who you know can be the difference between standing out

and being overlooked by employers, having the Stevens Career Center on your side is a great advantage. Without their

efforts to promote my candidacy to companies that align with my

career goals, I would have never realized Edwards

Lifesciences existed and most likely not been able to move out to the West Coast, as I desired. Having been prepared by the office’s seminars, I can now

proudly say I work at Edwards in Salt Lake City and I help to

save lives.

Candace Craig ’15 Engineering Skills Development Program – Project Management

The Linde Group

I honestly wouldn’t be as successful as I am today if it weren’t for the help of the Career Center staff.

They provided so many resources – from resume building to interviewing skills and event etiquette in a dinner

setting. Their patience and commitment to helping students aided me in landing a summer

internship at The Linde Group in 2014, which turned into a full time

offer in the fall of that year. I found my dream job at Linde and the

Stevens Career Center helped give that to me, which I will always be

grateful for.

Zachary C. Bass ’15 Assistant Project Manager

Fields Construction Company

I am very excited to begin my career in the same area I grew to love over my four years at

Stevens. This is mostly due to Stevens’ highly regarded

reputation and its own Career Center. My only complaint is

that I had too many interviews! On top of opening a ton of doors for me, the career advisors were

always there to answer questions ranging from how to

word resumes to how to negotiate my final salary. It’s

because of them that I had the option to stay close and work at

my first-choice company.

Bryan Vianco ’15 Management Associate

GOLD Program, Con Edison

The Stevens Career Center gave me everything I needed by my senior

year to be prepared to get the job of my dreams. The Career Center

offered me so many opportunities to develop thanks to their one-on-one resume reviews, mock interviews,

and financial workshops, to name a few. From my freshman year, I could see how much they were invested in my success and wanted me to grow

professionally. They took the time to learn about my interests and steered me in the right direction of potential job opportunities I would have never

known about. The advice given to me has led me to acquire my internships over the years and helped me make the right decision when accepting a full time job. There is a reason the

Stevens Career Center is ranked so highly; it’s the people who want to get

to know you and assist you in obtaining success after college.

The Career Center played a huge role in my success with internships and my full time

offers while at Stevens. I was offered multiple networking

opportunities, resume building sessions and mock interviews to fully prepare myself for the

interview with my dream company. It was amazing and

comforting to know each career advisor actually wanted

me to succeed with each interview. I know that I would

not be at Ernst & Young without the dedication and help of each advisor in the Stevens

Career Center.

Michelle Espitia ’15 Information Technology Leadership

Development Program (ITLDP) Johnson & Johnson

I’m so excited to begin my career at Johnson & Johnson as part of the ITLDP Class of 2015! As a

member of the Co-op program for the 4 years leading up to my Senior

year at Stevens, I was nervous about the transition during my final year to the hands of the Office of Career Development. However, I quickly realized that I had nothing to fear. I became acquainted with their awesome staff and attended several workshops, recruitment events, and more. All of their

guidance and support helped me to secure a job even before

Thanksgiving break, so I was able to truly enjoy the rest of my

Senior Year!

The Stevens Career Center assisted me in every step,

whether it be in finding the four internships during my time at

Stevens or for full time employment. The Career

Advisors prepared me not only for the challenging technical

interviews but also helped me analyze and compare companies,

and provided mentoring during the full time job search. I owe

the Stevens Career Center staff just as much as I owe my

professors and mentors. It is because of their dedicated

support and assistance that I have been able to attain my

career goals.

The Stevens Career Center was a large contributor to my success at Stevens and beyond. The size of

the school allows the career advisors to get to know the students

on a personal level and assist in obtaining the job that fits their

students the best. Their door is always open to everyone looking for resume help, job advice and even just to chat. I would not be in the

position I am today if it were not for all of the help they gave me.

care about the students of Stevens and help them

secure internships during their undergraduate career and

jobs post-graduation. I have been so grateful for all the

work they have done and the support they have given me.

They made finding my first job a priority and that is indicative

First Generation Profiles

Since day one, I knew Stevens was the right place for me. I am in the first generation of my family to go to

college and the engineering curriculum was challenging but I was still able to be an active and leading member of three social and professional

organizations on campus. Throughout my journey at Stevens, I had great advisors such as Dean Berkley, Dr. Zigh, and the Career Center team, that trusted in my ability to succeed and provided continual support. With their help, I was able to secure an amazing job at one of my top companies before graduation and I am

now proud to call myself a Stevens Alum! Rosa Andujar ’15

Global Business Services Alcoa

Going through college is a difficult journey, and being a first generation college student comes with its own

unique challenges. There are all these unprecedented scenarios and key decisions that need to be made which can be overwhelming to tackle alone. The Stevens structured Career Development program prepared me for interviews, helped me polish my resume, and through existing relationships with

companies opened doors for me that I never thought possible. The STEP Program provided me with

continued support and allowed me to forge friendships that will last a lifetime. Graduation was an emotional day since it was the culmination of a long

journey that I never could have completed were it not for the endless support I received and the sacrifices

my parents made for me on a daily basis. As one chapter of my life closes, another begins and I am

blessed to start my career as part of a great company.

The Computer Science Program at Stevens was the building block to my career. While the number of women in the program was few, we were bonded by the same passion for technology and the drive to succeed. I was

given the opportunity to attend the national

multiple fields through internships and Career
