Comments from students and alumni:

I had extreme anxiety before talking with Alex. She showed me resources (at USF and outside) that I was unaware of. I feel much more able to focus my job search.

Alexandra was very personable and helpful in preparing me for my first interview and reviewing my resume. This is my second visit seeking Alexandra's guidance, and it will not be my last. Promote and retain with enthusiasm! Thank you!

Alexandra Kulawsky was very helpful with improving my resume. Her long work experience stood out to me way above all the other options for career coaches. It was a very productive meeting and she had years of knowledge I would have never thought of. I will very positively recommend the career coach Alexandra Kulawsky to other students.

Alex was great! She presented during one of my MSW classes and remembered to reach back out to her for additional career/resume assistance. Will go to her again if I need further help!

Alex was great and very informative!

Alex was amazing. Friendly, sharp, super caring, and helpful. Definitely will be coming back for a follow up.

Alex is THE BEST and would recommend her services to anyone a million times over!

Alex did a great job!
Professor Kulawsky demonstrated exceeding expectations for overall passion and care for student development. She pushed me to do my best on an assignment and as a result I was able to get more from the assignment than I originally thought I would. This was impressive as I realize there were probably many students in this class section.
Gives very helpful and detailed feedback. It is clear that she takes the time to thoroughly review my assignments to give me accurate feedback that will help me succeed in both the course and my future job search process
I definitely won't forget how thorough you were in your personalized major/career research and how caring you were about my distress at the time. Thank you for all your help. 🙂

Hello, good evening. I want to start by recalling all the efforts I've witnessed from Alexandra Kulawsky. From the first meeting, she ensured I felt welcomed and understood. She was highly resourceful and capable of walking me through different options and paths that I could take into consideration for my career. She helped me find resources I did not even know I needed. She was kind and happy to help and looked highly welcoming and resourceful. Alexandra Kulawsky's communication skills exceed those of a regular person. She was capable of being both professional and realistic yet kind and understanding through everything I spoke with her. I've witnessed her do events such as job fairs and educational workshops to benefit the students. She is relentlessly always trying to help. She was always doing an outstanding job trying to connect to students and guide them in any way. I've seen her visiting classes, campus events, and even college trips outside of her schedule so that she could connect with students and provide them with help and guidance. Alexandra Kulawsky is genuinely a remarkable employee who is well aware of many students' realities and is resourceful and understanding. Alexandra Kulawsky is cooperative, understanding, professional, and kind, making her a genuinely outstanding employee and person.

best regards, Gilberto Mattei-Fernandez

To whom it may concern,

Alex has always been super eager to support the students here at PHSC. Most people in a field like this consider helping students as a part of their job, but she has always had compassion towards the helping part and was honest while giving the best career advice.

Recently I was going through some difficulties making a decision about my career and I was having second thoughts about my path. Without any hesitation I wrote Alex an email, and she welcomed me with open arms to help guide me and answer any questions I had. Regardless of her busy schedule, she made some time for me, which might not seem like much, but it matters a lot. As a student we have questions all the time and when there is somebody willing to work with you whenever you need the help, is the reason we feel welcome and greatly appreciate the people that make the time for us. To go above and beyond, she didn’t just talk with me alone, she invited one of the professors who was in the field at this time and informed me if I wanted some more information I could always talk to him. She helped me build a connection with the professor and develop a relationship from which I could succeed. After our meeting, she followed up with me and sent me helping material to give me a clearer picture of my career of choice. That day I felt extremely happy and lucky that we, students at PHSC, had staff like Alex that we could count on.

Alex has been super involved with helping the students by various methods. She joined the student government at various events to talk and inform the students of the great things the career services had to offer at that time. Often times she would join us on our weekly college wide student government meetings and say hi to all the students and update us on everything that career services are doing for us students. Alex has a personality that definitely attracts students. When students have any questions, most of us without feeling shy go to Alex and feel as comfortable as can be. Over my years at PHSC, I have been helped by many people on various levels and whenever I needed help, Alex was always there to help me and was one of the people I could rely on.

Thank you Alex,

Kind Regards,

Ali Shariq

PHSC Student Government President
