Success doesn't happen by accident. Simply holding a degree from UCLA won't be enough to land a good job in an employment market that is as competitive as is today's. Only the well prepared can hope to succeed. UCLA's Career Center is a tremendous resource for students and alumni who would like to gain an edge in the job market and receive support towards planning their professional future.
Career planning should start early, even during freshman year, when the Center can help students lay out a four-year plan. Says Kathy Sims, Director of UCLA's Career Center, "The biggest mistake students make is to assume the Career Center is only there to help seniors get jobs."
