Success Stories
"I want to thank the Office of Career Services for hosting the Fall 2012 Education Fair in November. I am not a student, but my husband is new to the Wichita State University community. The women working the event were kind enough to let me participate and offered helpful information about the local school districts as I had just moved to Wichita. I am happy to report that I have been offered a job and will be teaching in an area high school beginning in January. Thank you for your help and kindness!

"I had met with you for a mock interview a couple weeks ago. We had talked about how I have been having troubles getting a job at Wesley Medical Center. Well, I am emailing you to let you know that I got the front desk position at Health Strategies!! Not only that, but they saw all of my aquatic related activities on my resume and hired me to teach a couple water aerobics classes starting in October. Thank you so much for your help! I am very excited to begin this new position! Thank you so much for your help in preparing me for this interview!

"Thank you very much! Because of your help I was able to interview with about 8-10 companies and received 4 offers. Thanks to you I was able to have major control of where my future would take me. I was able to weigh the pros and cons of each offer and even do a little negotiating on the salary end."

"I had a mock interview with you sometime in March this year in preparation for a job interview. I would like to share with you the good news that I recently received a job offer from that company and I accepted it. The increase in confidence that I gained and the lessons I learned during our mock interview were critical for this success. I would thus like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your guidance and advice, not only during our mock interview but also post-interview by answering my questions about sending follow-up and other inquiry emails. Once again, thank you."
