Hear from our current career peer Josh Walters. Josh has worked as a career peer in our center for 2 years.
"My name is Joshua Walters and I am a senior math major here at UMBC. As a career peer, I am one of the first points of contact with many of the students who come to the Career Center for advising. One of my main responsibilities is to advise students on their resumes and cover letters during our daily drop-in hours: I assist students with formatting, conveying information effectively, and with understanding the specifics of correct resume and cover letter writing. I also work with many of the student organizations on campus - sending out reminders for upcoming events, and even sometimes hosting workshops where I speak with students about a variety of career-success topics. These topics can be anything from deciding on a major, networking, finding a full time job, and everything in-between. Being a career peer has been an incredibly rewarding experience - I have learned so much about career development through both my training and working so closely with UMBC students. I have had the opportunity to hone many skills such as resume writing, presenting, and teamwork/leadership skills that will be invaluable to both my job search, and finding success in my future career. If you are interested in applying, be sure to submit your resume and application form through UMBCWorks!"
