Career Support

Transcript

Career growth never stops. That’s why every UOPX degree is backed by career support for life. Let’s meet Shammai. She’s a mother of three who has earned three degrees from UOPX. Shammai took advantage of the university’s career services for life offering and was able to build a personalized career plan to pursue her goals. Take it away, Shammai.

Thanks for the intro, Alex. Hello everyone. My education prepared me to pursue my career goals, but an unexpected health crisis nearly upended that overnight. Despite all of my hard work in school, I found myself underemployed and raising a family. I had lost all confidence until I heard about the University of Phoenix’s commitment to career support. University of Phoenix students have access to tools, resources, and support from career advisors for life. I received one-on-one support from an advisor who helped me articulate my education and skills on a resume and prepare for job interviews. She stood by me and empowered me to understand my dreams, put them into perspective and go achieve them, but the support doesn’t stop there. Students and alumni can access a suite of resources on networking, personal brand development, salary negotiation, and more from the second they enroll throughout their career. The education and support I received from UOPX was a tremendous asset for reaching my professional goals. As a career-oriented professional, it means the world to me to know that my university cares about my career growth and is always there to support me when I need it. UOPX is a part of the foundation of the professional I am today because online education reinforces personal responsibility, achievement, and accountability. It allows people no matter where they come from, the opportunity to better themselves and shoot for the stars and get this. I’m also enrolled in UOPX’s doctoral program. Attending the University of Phoenix has been the best decision for my education and my career. I am looking forward to the day that I will be Dr. Shammai Terry, that’s it for me. Alex, right back to you.

Wow, what an amazing accomplishment Shammai. UOPX students have access to a team of dedicated advisors that help with one-on-one career support, resume building, and interview prep for life at no added cost. Students can feel confident that their degree will prepare them to succeed in today’s workforce. Thanks for sharing.
