Describe your job search process. What were some challenges you faced or things you learned from the experience? 

First was the discovery that I need a part-time job to sustain myself so I don't have to rely financially on my parents. However, as I was going through the process, I discovered that everyone around me needs a part-time job. Furthermore, I didn't have a resume nor had I ever made a professional essay.

If you used any Career Center services, resources, or events to obtain your part-time job, what were they? How did they support your application process? 

I used the virtual resume review. Through the review, I was truly able to figure out what I wanted.

What are some takeaways from your part-time job? How will these help prepare you for the next step after graduation? 

Some takeaways from my part-time job were multitasking, balancing between school and work life, and being able to relieve some financial burden from my parents. 

What advice do you have for students currently launching a part-time job search? 

Plan out your stuff, achieve what you need at the moment, while working toward what you need in the future.
