Geovanny Pizarro, an architect who graduated from the University of La Serena in 2015, dedicated part of his time to participating in a job placement consultancy given by the ULS Graduate Monitoring Office. In the activity, he received tools and tips to face future job interviews.

In an interview with DIVEULS, Geovanny comments that his dream since he was at the University was to work in an office that met his expectations in the city of Santiago, and if possible, not to work in areas not related to his profession.

When he arrived at the job search platform, he began to send applications and review notices, he applied what he learned in the consultancy, where he saw with amazement how in one day he had a thousand people connected. He put in the effort, submitted many requests and confirms that it worked for him.

He currently works at FG Arquitectos, an Office located in Vitacura, Santiago. He also tells us that this job meets all his expectations. His task for three months has been directly related to a project for a condominium of 250 houses in Chicureo and another of 30 houses in Cachagua.

Geovanny sends a message to the entire university community and graduates: “As a message, I believe that we must take advantage of all the tools provided by the talks and advice offered by the University of La Serena. The day I left the counseling (Graduate Monitoring Office), I was happy and I told all the colleagues I could to attend too.”

The ULS Graduate Monitoring Office carries out activities throughout the year for students and graduates of the institution, maintaining constant contact and fluid communication to accompany the transition of students from students to the world of work.
