Pearon said, “In my role as Career Development Specialist, I help students navigate the internship/job search process. This process may look different for each student. Generally though I advise students on resume and cover letter writing; I conduct mock interviews to prepare students for internship or job interviews; and I also help exploring students find internship or job openings in their area of interest.”
