About Linda Valfer

My role at UC San Diego

As a Career Advisor, I help students and alumni with useable job search strategies and skills. I develop and deliver job search workshops and perform outreach.

My career path

Career advising is where I want to be and what I want to do.

The rewards in doing what I do

Seeing people reach their goals and objectives and seeing someone learn how to develop a successful job search strategy; knowing that what information I give to the students is being used successfully is my best reward.

My words of wisdom to students

Patience -- if you do what you are supposed to do and focus, you will be successful at reaching your goals.

In my free time...

I love to shop, shop, shop and try out new restaurants (an equally important task). I am an avid reader, and enjoy browsing through book shops.
