In Focus

Commencement was just around the corner and Tiffany Axene ’02 found herself at a loss. Instead of feeling the accomplishment of graduating, Axene was consumed with looming questions about her future: Where was she going to work? Would she make enough money to support herself? Did her résumé sound professional? Realizing the magnitude of the decisions she had to make, Axene sought guidance at the Office of Career Services.

Every year, thousands of seniors face a similar dilemma. That is why people like Lynn Pearson, director of the Office of Career Services, focuses her energy, support, and experience to help ease the often difficult transition from college to the workplace. The Office of Career Services is located in the heart of Magnolia Court on APU’s East Campus. This resource powerhouse employs dynamic individuals who seek to create an energetic Christian learning environment in which they can assist students and alumni making decisions about majors, graduate schools, and employment.

Career Services offers a resource library that houses reference books and periodicals on internships, majors, graduate school information, and company literature. There are also employment notebooks that list part- and full-time employment and internship opportunities available through Career Services.
