'I would highly recommend current University of Alaska Southeast (UAS) students and alumni to visit Career Services. Dare I say, scheduling an appointment with Career Services should be a part of the academic curriculum and a requirement prior to graduating from UAS! I learned to highlight my skills in a detailed and specific manner which, have in turn, made me more competitive among other qualified candidates. Ms. Rydman has definitely increased my personal confidence in the working world. I hope that other individuals take advantage of her services like I did. -Marisela Velazquez, UAS Alumna '
