Chehak Nayar (computer science)
When she needed some career support, Chehak booked an one-on-one appointment with Karae, UVic's dedicated career educator for students in Engineering and Computer Science.
Switching career paths with the support of a career educator
My dream job is to work as a Product Manager for a Wellness Platform like Calm or Headspace. I'm inspired by the larger purpose behind these companies--to help people attain mental wellness in today's fast paced world.
Career Services helped me switch from my current career path of a developer into a new career role in product management. Karae helped me iron out my résumé to fit the role and company requirements.
What support did you access?
It was extremely helpful to have a career expert on campus, that I could book appointments with as and when required. The kind of personal attention I got and their willingness to go out of their way to sit with me and tailor my résumé made me feel more confident. Additionally, I was invited to focus groups.
Career Services has helped me immensely in my job search. Meet with your career educator, as many times as you need to...two heads are always better than one!
