Virginia Goshorn, who received her
bachelor’s in MIS from Wright State in 1999 and her master’s in 2002,
used Career Services for her job searches as both a student and an
alumna. When her first employer downsized and offered her a separation
agreement, Goshorn returned to Career Services. “My separation agreement
included assistance in preparing for a job search,” she said, “But those
counselors didn’t understand me or my background the way Career Services
does. And because companies come directly to Wright State looking for
employees, I knew Career Services could best help me target my search
successfully.” Now a systems analyst in the advancement division of
another Ohio university, Goshorn says she’s “still a Raider!”
Haven’t Looked for A Job in While?
“An alumnus who hasn’t done a job search for a few years may not be
familiar with today’s trends,” said Julie Ermlich, assistant director of
Career Services for the Raj Soin College of Business. “They may not be
aware of current resume styles or interview techniques. A one-on-one
appointment with our staff provides personal feedback focused on their
specific situation and can be the difference between making an
outstanding impression or a mediocre one.”
