Student Career Advisors

Salam Alaikum (Hi in Arabic),

My name is Osama, and I am currently halfway between my Sophomore and Junior years at Whitman. I am an international student from Sudan, majoring in Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Molecular Biology (BBMB).

I am excited to help you navigate your career journey. I understand how challenging it can be to seek out opportunities, especially if it’s your first time doing so. But I’m here to tell you that it’s completely normal. Sometimes all you need is a little guidance, a nudge in the right direction, or even just a second opinion. That’s where we come in. I’ll be here to assist you with resumes, cover letters, and interviews. Just come by, and we’ll have a chat. Everyone has something valuable to offer, and our goal is to help you explore and present that.

You can schedule an appointment with me on Handshake or send me an email to connect.

Hi everyone! David Wang here. I use he/him pronouns, I come from Taiwan, and I’m a Senior majoring in Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Molecular Biology (BBMB). Nice to meet you :-) 

I will be there with you through the career-seeking process: resumes, cover letters, interview prep, etc. I will be helping you to find out the best of you and show it off. My goal is to prepare you to be ready for any career, internship or research applications. It could range from a specific job to a broad industry, from on-campus work to summer internships, from CVs to in-person interviews. You name it, I got it.
