"I was a graduate student looking for an academic advising position in the local area. The concierge program helped me with an initial review of my resume and provided several opportunities to help refine it during workshops with talent acquisition experts on campus. The program provided me with an opportunity to connect with experienced student services professionals on campus at workshops and through informational interview opportunities. Many of my informational interviewees are now colleagues who I can reach out to with questions about interpreting Purdue's academic policies. The program really helped demystify the application process for on campus positions, and supported me through a challenging search."
