Let Career Services Work for You
Picking a path in life is difficult, confusing, and ultimately terrifying. One day you are sitting in your high school chemistry class, fast forward two years, and you are expected to pick a program of study. However do not fret. Here at Piedmont, they provide career service assistance.
Career services is the answer to all of your confusing, future-related prayers. They help with all sorts of things, such as writing a resume or helping students set up interviews for potential jobs. They also help one choose a possible college major if you are about to transfer to a four-year school.
Andre Luck is the career services coordinator; basically, he helps students figure out what they want to do with their lives. Luck earned his bachelor’s in psychology at the University of Virginia, and his MBA at Regent University.
He enjoys people and likes to watch students achieve their goals when it comes to job seeking. Luck has a background in human resources, which makes working in career services a great fit for him.
For the last 32 years, Piedmont has held an annual job fair with local business’ that are looking for possible new employment. This is a great way for students to network with people from around the area. Luck said, “It takes a village to prepare for the job fair.” There is a lot of coordination that goes on, and a ton of pre-planning with returning employers and new ones.
This year’s 32nd Annual Job Fair was held on March 23, in Piedmont’s Main Building from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Luck’s advice to students who are looking for a career path, is to do your research and have a plan.
