The Seminole Campus Career Services department and Student Support Center hosted a “First Impression” event on Thursday, February 27th. The event consisted of several stations that assisted students with dressing for success, creating a resume, interview tips, and personal hygiene.

The “First Impressions” event was a huge success with over 70 students participating in the career building event. Students comments included “this is great”, “I learned so much”, and “thanks for helping us make a good first impression.”
