-: I would say the number one way Ball State
prepared me for where I am is
actually this career center.
So through this career center and the online recruiting
efforts, I did an internship with another firm,
that I obtained by doing on-campus interviews
and then going down to Indianapolis and doing interviews.
And I interviewed with Blue and Company for the first time.
I met them at the career fair, interviewed on campus,
and went to Indianapolis to interview with them.
So that, I feel like this career center
and that's why I've continued to be involved with it
is because I think it is such an important part
of Ball State and it was so important to me
being where I am that I don't what kind of success
I would have had if we were just out on our own
and we didn't have assistance with it.
So that for me I think is very important
and I would encourage any student to take advantage of it.
I think it's great.
I think when you're doing this process,
meet with as many firms or companies as you can.
Schedule your interviews, practice your interviews,
and then hopefully those can lead to something.
But yeah I think the career fair or the career center
has just been a great tool for students.
