Librarian and Career Counseling Center

Listening to the librarian speak last week was informative not only about her personal history and love for literature, but also about UCSB’s library as a resource to students. I was glad to know much they care about us and want us to have a good studying experience. They offer snacks and drinks, and are always willing to help students find what they need. They also host events at the library, and it is a main hub of information here on campus.

                Personally, I enjoyed the trip to the Career Counseling Center far more than the librarian lecture. It is a great resource, and it is essentially the ends to our means here in college. One of the main reasons we are here is to thrive in a career that we love, and the Career Counseling Center is the place to figure out which path to take. They offer resources for internships and actual jobs related to your major, which is something I would like to delve deeper into. Before coming here, I really wanted to get a job at the Santa Barbara Zoo as a zookeeper. After visiting the career center, I found out that, in fact, many students get internships at the zoo. Before visiting, I didn’t even know about the GauchoLinks website, which offers contacts to many such job opportunities.
