DON’T FORGET….
Take the 2015 Universum Survey
Do you know where your career will take you in the near future? Do you know what goes into certain companies recruiting here on campus? Thanks to Universum's work, the gap between employers and university students is closing. The Universum Student Survey takes your responses and uses them to provide you with an in-depth review of who you are as an applicant, suggesting employers and industries you may not otherwise have considered. This powerful tool will give you an edge in the job search process. The best part? It's free and only takes about 15 minutes!  Make sure to take the 2016 Student Survey in order to let your opinions be heard! https://career-test.com/s/mit
