(:40-:52 12 seconds) “I came here to the career fair because I’m graduating in May and I wanted to kind get out there and see what companies have available and maybe possibly see if I can possibly find a job!”

Wendy Sora, UH Mānoa Career Center Director (9 seconds)

3:04-3:25 “We are here for students throughout their college and career journey. We try to connect with students as early on as first year students all the way through graduation, because we know that students learn about themselves, they make decisions on what’s important to them in their career. So we want to connect with them often and as early as possible.”
