– Hey, Alex! As a futuristic thinker, my mindset coming into college was a little bit different than some. I knew it was more than just getting a degree. And that’s why I chose Iowa State University. This university is not only gonna provide you with the best four years, but the people here are gonna set you up for success for your future endeavors. The main goal is not only to find that major you love and get a degree, but to really find your passions and find that fitting career. I love my majors and researching for future careers. But when it came time for me to apply for a job, I had no idea where to begin. Luckily Iowa State invests and values in student success. With cover letter enhancing, resume building and interview prep. If you’re unsure with your passions or your career path, check out Career Exploration Services.

And that’s exactly how I landed my internship last summer with Pepsi Co. My goal was always to work for a Fortune 500 company. And with Iowa State’s resources of interview prep and cover letter enhancing, I was selected. Shortly after being at Pepsi for a couple months, Iowa State alumni reached out to me to congratulate me and offer a helping hand. That’s the power of Cyclones everywhere. A college education is more than just learning skills for a job, it’s about honing in on skills that sets you apart, finding a career path and joining a community of Cyclones that makes Iowa and the world a better place. I can’t wait for what the future holds, but I know I’ll be just fine with the endless support and opportunities that Iowa State has to offer. Let me hear your go Cyclones, Alex!
