Chanda Ishisaka
College Career Specialist for the College of Natural Sciences & Mathematics
- CSUF students and recent alumni (graduated within 1 year) can make appointments with me to discuss career planning and preparation, finding a job or internship, resume, cover letters, interview practice, grad school preparation, and more. I also help students who are not sure what they can do with their major, or may want to find a different major or career. I'm here to help you.
