Jarrett McGuiganEconomics, May 2014
“The job fair is one of the most vital resources that a student can take advantage of while on campus. During my sophomore year, I suited up and went to the fair with a stack of resumes and an open mind regarding what type of company or industry I would talk to about internships. As a result of the fair, I landed numerous interviews with companies across a spectrum of fields. Following the interviews, I accepted a paid management internship with Kohl’s Department Stores. I loved the internship as well as the company, so I decided to apply for an internship at their corporate office. I received an offer to be a business analyst intern this fall. As a result of the Career Fair, I not only landed an internship, but I believe it helped me find my employer for the foreseeable future.”

“Thank you so much for your help. I feel a lot more confident in my resume and hopefully it helps me find a job.” Ken M.
Sophie AmadoEnglish, May 2014
“The Career Center is a great outlet for students’ career exploration. As a first-year student, I was able to talk with an advisor and take a career interest test to begin a dialogue with myself about what I wanted to do with my degree after college. Since then, I have utilized the Career Center’s resources, such as resume workshops and mock interviews. Having the opportunity to practice interviewing skills without pressure was an invaluable experience, and an experience accessible to all Iowa students. Through the Career Center, I’ve been able to assess my career goals over time at the University of Iowa, receive support and information about my degree from my career advisor, and look ahead towards all post-undergraduate possibilities where I can employ my strengths.”
Pomerantz Career Center serves undergraduates from the Colleges of Business, Liberal Arts and Sciences, Education and Engineering through a partnership with Engineering Professional Development to prepare them for life after college and assist them with their career and leadership development.
Through advising, academic courses, internships, volunteer opportunities, career events and job search strategies, students have a better understanding of not only how to find and obtain jobs and internships, but how to be successful in them.

Annual Graduate Survey The Pomerantz Career Center assesses University of Iowa baccalaureate-level graduates via the web upon graduation and by phone seven months after graduation. Alumni provide several key pieces of outcome information about their employment status.
Whether they are:
• Employed and in what industry and where
• Continuing with further education
• Not in the job market for other reasons (e.g., raising a family or military service)
In addition, for those entering a career, job title and starting salary in the jobs they have accepted are collected.
