“The Jones MBA Career Center was pivotal in helping me land my current position. I was no longer interested in working as an engineer, but I wasn’t sure how to pivot my career. They helped me identify what I was passionate about and matched my skills with different opportunities. Through a career assessment, I identified the learning gaps I needed to reach my career goals. I appreciate how the Center listened and cared about the right role and organization for me. I am grateful for the wonderful support I received.”
