Student Success Stories

"The resource that I used, the "Ace the Interview" at Career services was very instrumental in me getting hired. Mr Vericella met with me to prepare for the interview and I learned so much about what employers are looking for in new hires. The meeting was excellent and my fear of interviews soon dissipated as I felt very prepared for the interview. Again I am very grateful for that meeting as I got the job. "

"I utilized Career Services to my advantage when building my resume, and LinkedIn profile. After visiting Career Services, I was shocked with how my resume appeared; very professional. It advertised that I was interested in seeking out an internship opportunity with Channel 6. This may seem demanding, but I see it as determined, goal-oriented, and dedicated. Not only did Shameka Middleton help me with my resume, but she advised me on how to approach the interview, and the confidence I needed to overcome difficult questions during the interview. She also recommended I shape and mold my LinkedIn profile to appear appealing to employers. After I did this, I was beyond confident in how I advertised my profile. I ended up getting the interview and confidence in my performance is an understatement. I would not have been prepared for this moment had I not visited Shameka M. The result of it all, I got the job!"

"I utilized the mock interviews the most out of all of the career services. I was contacted about my interview and was only given a week to prepare. I was able to get multiple mock interview sessions with Mr. Vericella whom of which helped enormously with the entire process, and helped alleviate my fear about the interview day. My preparations allowed me to execute my interview with confidence."

"The career service center at Augusta University – they were lifesavers. It was like finding an oasis in the middle of a desert. Chris Smith, my career advisor there, was like this incredible mentor. He knew exactly what he was doing, guiding me through the whole process like a pro. Chris was a wizard with interviews and getting into the mindset of the job market. He helped me dive deep into the world of data science, breaking down those complex ideas and tech stuff in a way that just clicked. He was all about making sure I could talk the talk – clear, confident, making every point count. And then the big day came – interview day. I walked in there, and guess what? I nailed it. It wasn't just answering their questions; it was like telling my story, showing them not just what I knew but who I was and how pumped I was to be part of TaxSlayer. "

"Through the Mock Interview resource offered at Career Services, I learned strategies and gained confidence to do well in my graduate school interview. This helped me obtain an acceptance to my first choice of physical therapy schools. I have been accepted to Augusta University's Doctor of Physical Therapy Program, and I will be graduating in 2028!"

"Despite not having the most competitive scores in my classes, the career services office helped me show my worth in my program interview. They taught me how to show the higher ups in the program that I am more than just my grades and that I would be not only a great fit for the program, but a asset to the school as a whole. I utilized Career Services resources such as mock interviews with Mr. V, and resume builders on the website."
