Metro State College of Denver Alumni & Friends launches Job Blog

Have an interview and want to know what to expect? Check out the new Metro State College of Denver Alumni & Friends Job Blog for a list of common interview questions, as well as resources to help you find your job and various articles that will help you in your job search.

As a result of a LinkedIn discussion the Office of Alumni Relations had with alums, we contacted the Office of Career Services to find out how we could better support you. In addition to offering other services, we created a Job Blog, to be administered by both offices.

This job blog will include original articles written by the Office of Career Services and myself (Lizzy Scully, Social Engagement Manager), as well as a plethora of resources to help you find a job. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions regarding the content of this job blog and what you would like to see, please email me at escully @ mscd.edu, or contact me via our various social media sites.
