THE OFFICE OF CAREER SERVICES TEAM
The Office of Career Services serves as a bridge between students' college experience and life after UT. Starting with students' first year at UT and continuing beyond their graduation, we are here to help students explore who they are and their career options, connect their experience — whether it is academic, campus involvement and engagement, internships, or work experience, to careers or graduate school – and achieve their post-graduation goals.
On behalf of the Office of Career Services, we would like to give a special acknowledgement to Grace Mercer, marketing and advertising intern, for her work on this publication. From formatting the original draft to the many edits in-between, Grace has kept this project on track and helped in sharing the story of our office.

STUDENT HIGHLIGHT UPSANA JOSHI '21 "As an international student, I found it very difficult to find a great internship opportunity. I started my search early on and made it a priority to attend almost every career fair and networking event conducted by the Office of Career Services.
"I was appointed at “Amgen” as a summer intern for the Tampa location. Amgen is an American multinational biopharmaceutical company, headquartered in California. It aims to serve patients by transforming its advanced knowledge of science and technology.
"At Amgen, I had the opportunity to work with the Global ERP department and join the product team that aims to continuously work towards innovation, automation and modernization of the platform. Creation of dashboard, managing the financial workstreams, assisting in the formulation of plans and policies, and communicating it with stakeholders were some of my daily tasks.
"The internship did not only boost my confidence but also enhanced my communication and technical skills along with the opportunities to network with different professionals and earn educational certifications.
"I am grateful to The University of Tampa Office of Career Services for being dedicated to providing extraordinary opportunities to help both me and other students achieve their goals!"

EXPERTISE AND TECHNOLOGY QUINNCIA In 2019, The University of Tampa implemented Quinccia. Quinncia is an ATS (applicant tracking system) and AI (artificial intelligence) based mock interview platform.
The AI mock interview technology supports students' preparation for both in-person and virtual interviews, critical to the ever-changing talent management strategies of today’s employers. Quinncia analyzes the video, audio, and content of the interview and resume, to provide real time feedback for students and alumni.
As an early adopter, UT Career Services staff have worked closely with the founder, Himal Ahuja, and his team, on the development of the platform, specifically in key areas including reporting, competency tracking, and feedback.
Academic integration of Quinncia includes:
•
Sport management, marketing, psychology, and professional communication classes
•
Sales institute and professional selling — undergraduate and graduate classes
•
CAR 401 classes
2,244 students have accessed Quinccia 598 students have submitted one or more resumes in the past year 617 students have completed one or more interviews in the past year
“The University of Tampa was one of the first universities to partner with Quinncia and adopt AI technology to help integrate career readiness for students. They have set a precedent for successful organization and implementation of innovative technology. Their Office of Career Services has always been at the forefront of new ideas and best practices that have been embraced by other universities.”

TRUMOTIVATE During the academic year 2020-2021, The University of Tampa partnered with TruMotivate to serve as a beta school to test a one-of-a-kind motivations assessment for college students. The Office of Career Services coordinated this partnership in alignment with Career Services, Student Leadership and Engagement, Student Transition and Persistence, the Student Affairs Division, and overall University goals.
Motivations are critical because they serve as the underlying emphasis for how and why students express and use their values, interests, personality, strengths, and skills toward career decisions. Identifying career goals is important because having post-graduation goals is a correlative factor in student retention and persistence.
136 students, ranging from freshmen to seniors, representing a diverse range of students, and all four UT colleges, took the TruMotivate assessment and participated in staff and student-led interpretation workshops.
“I am so grateful that we connected, and I knew you and your campus would make for a great partner. You have helped us shape our work at TruMotivate and you still continue to influence the work and enhancements we continue to implement today. We love to see people excel using their own set of motivations and we are fortunate to find that unique set of motivations in our partnership with Tampa. "

SUCCESS STORY JORDAN DALAL '21 "My time at UT was some of the best four years of my life, and I worked hard to ensure I had a job secured for after graduation. I can't thank my professors, peers, and especially The Office of Career Services enough for the help that got me to where I am today. I applied to my position via Handshake with the help of trusted advisors at the Office of Career Services. "I now work for Brooksource, a company that focuses on IT and engineering consulting and staffing. My role is to help others secure their dream job at Fortune 500 organizations. In addition, I work hand in hand with The Office of Career Services to give UT students various opportunities at my company.
