Your Career Path Begins NOW

Career Fast Facts
- According to hiring managers, applicants frequently walk into an interview unprepared.
- About 80% of jobs are found by networking - not on job boards.
- Many job seekers make the same three common resume and cover letter mistakes.

How will you master these and other important career skills? Two words: Career Services.

According to Forbes, only 29% of college students use their school's career office, even though employers say it's the single easiest and most impactful thing a student can do to ensure they find a good job when they graduate. At Bay State College, we make it easy (and fun!) to work with the career office. Here are some things you can look forward to in the fall.
