Three Quick Questions
Agnes Oyewale, Ed.D.
Director of Career Services and Employer Relations 1 / What can undecided students do to find their way to a career path? Conduct self-eval-
uations, seek advice from others, do thorough research, participate in hands-on experiences, and assess your existing skills and interests. Consider the classes you enjoy and those you don’t to help narrow your options. 2 / How do internships prepare students for the real world? Internships
are a significant soft launch into your career journey, offering the opportunity to learn on the job and develop professionally. You can expand your network, learn the trade, and gain insight into the industry, its roles, and—most importantly—yourself. 3 / Do you have any tips for creating an effective profile in Handshake, Fisher’s job and internship database?
