Career Services has a new resource for students, accessible on the right hand side of our home page.
CANDID CAREERS are informative video interviews with Penn State alumni, sharing their work history, personal experience and career advice.
You can explore this site by searching for a particular job title, academic major, or just surf the available titles. Watch the entire interview or just pick selected parts–such as a typical day, how to prepare, resume or interview advice, etc. You can even read or print a written transcript of the interview.
Another nice feature of each alum’s page is the link to their profession’s information in the Occupational Outlook Handbook, ONET
So, whether you are exploring the working world, or looking for particular information about a profession, this resource will have helpful information from people who used to be in your shoes–they were Penn State students too!
