About Najet
"I am so fortunate to work with the College of Chemistry students. Over the past two years, I have worked with undergraduate and masters students with their career-related needs. Prior to joining Berkeley Career Engagement and the College of Chemistry, I spent ten years working with students, recent graduates, and professionals from diverse backgrounds to evaluate transferable skills, write resumes and cover letters, recommend job search strategies, and prepare for interviews. I love helping students identify goals, consider options after graduation, and guide them through the internship or job search process. I graduated from UC Davis with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and my professional career has spanned working in multiple industries. I love spending time with my husband and children, and I enjoy reading, hiking, and cooking.
Please feel free to book a time to meet with me on Handshake for virtual and in-person appointments. And be sure to connect with me on my LinkedIn page."
