End of the Year!
This is the end of the last full week of school! As a freshman, it is the end of my first year at WPI and it has been great! Through the year I have been blogging about my career search and plans and will continue to do so as I look for internships, interview, and […]
End of another year
Last night I finally put some time aside, dressed accordingly and began interview stream. After making sure I understood how the program worked, I received the first question and of course wasn’t sure how to answer it. Although I told myself I wouldn’t, I responded so poorly, I selected the option to redo the initial […]
Plans for the Summer
It’s the end of the year and people have their minds on the summer! This summer I do not have an internship. Instead, I’ll be working on various projects I haven’t had the time to work on. I have a teaching position at a robotics summer camp and plan to learn software that will help […]
Exploring LinkedIn
Unfortunately the CDC trivia round was delayed one more week as quadfest took precedence. But if you already reviewed the CDC’s resources don’t be discouraged, they will be asked next week. And if you don’t have a job yet, don’t forget to attend “Last Minute Job Search Strategies”, as it’s not too late to get […]
The Real Interview Process: as seen by me

Next year I will be taking courses for mechanical engineering, my humanities requirement, and a business minor. Is there anyone else out there majoring in ME and minoring in business? Soon we’ll […]
Goats Head Trivia
I hope all you readers will be attending the Goats Head Trivia next week. If you know your CDC resources, you should be able to get a lead in the game. The CDC round will include questions regarding services we provide as well as reminding students about opportunities such as InterviewStream. I have yet to try […]
LinkedIn – Are you actually using it to its full potential?
Hi all! Have you ever why you have a LinkedIn account? I see so many students, myself included, with an account that they barely use. In my case I have so far as to fill out all of the categories and I even have a decent amount of connections. However, I previously wasnt using the […]
Middle of D Term
I hard to believe that we’re halfway through the last term of the year. Soon we will be welcoming the Class of 2016! To the Seniors especially, join LinkedIn and join the CDC’s LinkedIn group! It’s a great way to connect with alumni and possible employers. For Seniors planning to enter the workforce that haven’t […]
