Career Service write up

At the end of January this year, I was able to secure my position with the Government of Tonga. I had to approach Maryjo Zunk to secure this deal after securing Tonga first. It took some convincing at first but the deal was sealed when the career manager approved my internship to be done at a foreign country. The good thing that surfaced out of this internship was that Tonga secured a five years internship program with the College of Public Affairs and Community Solution.

There were required documents such as resume, job description for Tonga, and skills and knowledge from classroom-learning to apply in the real world. The internship would be done during summer overseas, and the actual internship class will be registered for fall 2015. Maryjo helped me out with getting approval from the dean’s office on my internship in Tonga. There wasn’t much to discuss because she had no idea of what Tonga had to offer me. I must say I was happy that I was part of securing my own internship with Tonga and having Maryjo to convince ASU to allow me the opportunity. The best part of this career service was that Maryjo literally re-wrote my entire resume for me.

I visited Ashley Gale today at the WP Carey School of Business in Tempe to get second opinion with my career choice and where I will be heading. I had been accepted to the Master of Public Administration program here at ASU. I will be graduating December 15, and seeking help with Ashley today was very helpful. I wanted her to help me plan out my master’s program as we did at first with my under graduate. It was worth the talk and the one hour because not only she was encouraging me to push forth with the education plan that I had already designed prior to our meeting, but also to continue my education towards the PhD program.
