Alumni Testimonies

Alum Zach Zamberlin

I decided that I wanted to go into University/Early in Career Recruiting/Program Management. After lots of networking with professionals in this career path, I was approached by an Early in Career recruiter from the computer software company, Alteryx. I interviewed at Alteryx for a full-time Talent Acquisition Coordinator role on their Early in Career Team. Sooner than later, I was offered the position and ultimately decided to accept it, as this was the exact position, I've been looking for. I just finished my second week working and am absolutely loving it.

I ended up networking with 106 people all in the tech industry and am so thankful for all the insight and knowledge that I received from these professionals.

Gonzaga’s Alumni Relations and Career and Professional Development offices were immensely helpful in my job search process — all while working remotely. They provided resources to help me improve my resume and cover letter, met with me virtually to perfect my application and prepare me for my interviews, and aided in my understanding of what I might expect as I moved through the interview and offer process. They also helped initiate contact with Zag alumni that were an added resource of advice and perspective on what roles and opportunities I should go after during my months of searching and reflection. Special thanks to Erin Shields who was incredibly helpful throughout my search!
