As a career professional, Carissa Roldan meets students all the time. They come in seeking help and advice at the Career Center. Faculty bring in their classes for a workshop or seminar. Sometimes students come in just for a quiet place or conversation. One student, Samantha Scarpa, sticks out as one that will remembered for a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I first met Samantha a year ago when I started as a Career Outreach Specialist at the Tarpon Springs campus.\u00a0She would regularly come in to the Career Center to use one of the study rooms.\u00a0After seeing her a few times, we started to chat.\u00a0She was not coming in for any career advice, just a quiet place to be. Samantha is a very strong and driven young lady.\u00a0Me being very social, I would chat with her about her career goals from time to time.\u00a0She first mentioned being interested in business and I gave her some job shadowing information<\/a>.\u00a0During the next semester, she started having an interest in the medical field.\u00a0She had already used her networking skills<\/a> and set up to meet with a medical professional to see exactly what they do!\u00a0Good job Samantha. I then asked Samantha to share what she thought of the Career Center and the services.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been about a year and a half now since I started coming to the Career Center. My name is Samantha Scarpa, and I am studying to be in the medical field. The Career Center for me has been a resourceful outlet that allows me to fully expand my knowledge. It has helped me chase my ambitions. The study rooms provide a quiet space that helps me to focus completely on any tasks I must accomplish each day. I love that Career Outreach Specialist, Carissa Roldan<\/a>, helps improve my career path through each discussion. Carissa keeps me on track and gives me access to job opportunities connected to my career choice. I enjoy my time in the Career Center and know that it will always be there for my convenience. I appreciate the help I receive to reach my goals. I encourage everyone to stop in and check it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carissa says, whether you need some career advice or just a quiet place to study, remember that many campuses have a Career Center. While you are there take advantage of all the resources and tools that we have to offer our SPC students!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
