About Stephanie Zielinski:

In my role as the Assistant Director of Career Services at the College of Communication, I meet with undergraduates, graduates, and alumni on an array of career-related topics relating to professional development and career exploration. In every conversation, my goal is to help students and alumni understand their current position and chart a path toward their desired goals by providing tailored strategies and resources. 

Additionally, I collaborate with the Career Services Team and stakeholders to design career development programs and workshops that aim to help students increase confidence surrounding key career topics.

Hometown: Rochester, NY

First Job: Ice Cream Maker and Scooper, Pittsford Farms Dairy & Bakery

Advice to Students: It is never too early to network with others! Networking builds a wide web of connections including peers, faculty, staff, alum, employers, etc. who can support you on your career journey. You do not need a polished experience or the perfect resume to reach out to an alum or professional in a role or field of interest; many people are open to sharing their experiences to students who reach out! Our team is here to help with any questions or thoughts about networking with others.
