The Career Center is pleased to announce a brand new Student User Interface for UMBCworks. 

This new experience gives students a sleeker, more intuitive, and mobile responsive interface.

You will notice a new design upon signing in. The majority of the functionality is similar to the previous UMBCworks platform. However, a few things have been simplified for a better user experience. We will list these changes below.

• The Navigation Menu has been moved to the left, and slightly re-ordered so that Students see Profile and Recruiting related features first. 
• The new layout is mobile responsive. This means the page will scale to screen size. So whether you are on your laptop, or mobile device, you will be able to utilize the full capabilities of UMBCworks. 
• Jobs lists have a sleeker look with a more simplified list.  We focused on the information and features that matter the most to students.  The Jobs list now shows the Job Title, Position Type, and Employer.  Additionally, Students will see the application deadline for jobs expiring in the next 7 days.  
• Other lists such as Documents and Experiential Learning have also been simplified to provide a smoother look and feel.  The action items will now be tucked in a menu that Students can click on to expand.

If you have any questions about the new features, please contact us at 410-455-2216 or umbcworks@umbc.edu.

Below are featured events and internship/employment opportunities that have recently been posted or have application deadline dates that are quickly approaching!  To see all that the UMBC Career Center has to offer YOU, please visit our myUMBC group page or log into your UMBCworks account!

Name: Dianna Samek

Internship, Co-op or Research Site: Morgan Stanley

Position Title: Shared Services and Banking Operations Analyst

Major(s)/Minor(s): Financial Economics

Expected Graduation Year: 2015

Briefly describe your internship, co-op,  or research opportunity, including your day-to-day tasks, responsibilities, and assignments.

All I could think was "I'm going to be working for a top Wall Street Firm!" when I got the job offer to intern at Morgan Stanley this summer. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Now, after my summer as a full-time, 9-5 (more like 8-6:30), financial analyst has come to an end, I look back and think that I could not be happier with my experience.

Describe the process of obtaining your internship, research, or co-op opportunity.

Having never had a full time professional job before, it was a huge culture shock entering a business/professional environment on my first day. It was such a different atmosphere than college is! I have definitely come such a long way since that first day.

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization/company?

I loved the internship program in general. As an intern at Morgan Stanley, you not only work with a team of full-time employees, but you are also able to work on activities with the other interns at the firm. This includes manager shadowing, group projects, and presentations. This aspect really gave me the opportunity to see a wide range of opinions and experiences from my peers, and I was able to make some great friends over the summer too.

How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?

I believe I helped the team I was placed on by reducing their heavy workload. I finished all tasks that they wanted to teach me or have me help with, along with providing new insight on areas with a possibility of improvement.

What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?

Keep an open mind. Never give up any opportunity no matter what it is because it is always a chance to grow and learn. No job will ever be perfect, but if it can help you to grow in the workforce or even just as an individual then you should 100% go for it. Never let failure or rejection stop you from trying. I have not gotten every single job I I've ever applied to, but as they say, it's always better to try and fail than never try at all.
