How many career fairs have you gone to?

Have you used the career placement resources at state?

Have you done an internship related to your education?

Were they helpful?

As someone who did undergrad, worked for a few years, went back to school, and am nearing the end of grad school (in May) this stuff is on my mind, and something I've gone through twice in someways by having my education divided.

For my part, I went to 1 or 2 career fairs in undergrad, but they weren't super helpful (although maybe other people's experiences are different?) however my internship I feel has been. I didn't really use the career center my first time around, but I'm thinking of checking it out this time around.
