Voices of Santa Clara Podcast

Santa Clara prides itself on helping students transition into the workforce while prioritizing ethics and social justice over simply making a lot of money. And one of the key resources for students is the career center. In this episode,  four of Santa Clara’s career counselors answer some of the most common questions that students have. Where should I find internships? Should I go to career fairs? How do I craft the perfect resume or cover letter? Should I be networking? I don’t like networking! Should I work at a startup, or a big company, or maybe do research on campus over the summer, or take a trip overseas?

HOW TO GET A JOB: ADVICE FROM THE CAREER CENTER

Spring Career Fair 2023_2 (Team Shot)

Santa Clara students have a triple advantage that truly differentiates them: academic excellence, active community engagement, and immersion in the Silicon Valley. SCU’s tradition of competence, conscience, and compassion sum up the philosophy that we believe translate to being successful at Cisco where we value quality, doing what’s right and giving back.
