Feedback from faculty and staff who have used Penn State Mont Alto Career Services includes:
- “The mock interviews conducted by Career Services helped to take my resume and cover letter assignment to another level. Students who were chosen for the interview gained valuable experience and shared what they learned with the rest of the class.”
- “The resume writing program by Career Services is outstanding! It gives our students an excellent opportunity to put themselves on paper in a very professional manner.”
