“I had a practice interview with Career Services about 3 weeks ago. I interviewed with 2 different hospitals in Colorado for an RN position, and received job offers from both of them! Thank you for all of your help! The practice interview was very helpful in preparing me for the real thing. I’m very glad that UCF offers this great service to students and alumni!”
