“I am very grateful to Lakeland ’s Radiology program directors, and I look forward to utilizing the skills I’ve learned in the future,” Tracy said. Some of her duties as a technologist will be performing imaging examinations, processing x-rays, evaluating radiographic equipment and providing information to patients regarding specific imaging procedures. Tracy is excited and ready to begin her professional career.

“I utilized Lakeland’s Career Services’ expertise in resume writing. I met with the resume technician to reformat and create a resume that not only I was happy with, but one an employer would appreciate as well. I learned that a job search includes many small details, from the resume to networking,” Tracy offered. “Although I spent a short amount of time in the Career Services department, the entire staff was always willing to help. Any questions I had were quickly answered whether in person, by phone call, or email. I will continue to take advantage of their services in the future and hope other students get the chance to experience all that Career Services has to offer.”
