“I was able to attend the Rocket Mortgage 2025 Internship Summit with Antonio Riggs and Mary Ann Kost this semester. They picked me up from my home in Detroit, and we went to a very informative event with lots of opportunities for career advancement in terms of internships and full-time employment as well. It was a Friday morning very well spent, I must say.”

“Grateful for an amazing experience at the Rocket Mortgage Internship Summit today. Hearing how leaders at Rocket began as interns and are now driving big impact was both grounding and energizing. It made the path from ‘intern’ to ‘professional’ feel not just possible, but real.
I also had a great conversation with Hoisea Jones about data science, emerging technologies, and Rocket logic. I’m excited to see how these experiences shape the future of the tech industry.”

“Career Services at UM-Flint is the best! Antonio Riggs, Associate Director of Student Career Advancement and Success, helped me land my dream job. Antonio helped me with tips on how to interview and what types of questions to anticipate. Mr. Riggs also helped me with tips on how to compose a follow-up thank-you letter after you have your interview. Mr. Riggs also helped me with dressing for success by offering wardrobe tips. He also reminded me to wrap up the interview with a smile, thank you, and to ask about the next steps. If you are looking to land a fantastic job, I recommend utilizing the UM-Flint Career Services Center because they will help you reach your career goals.”

“The resume webinar provided invaluable guidance on enhancing my resume. The resources available at the University of Michigan-Flint were highly valuable. Antonio, the host of the webinar, showed exceptional kindness by addressing all of my questions and providing valuable guidance on optimizing my resume. If you desire to modify your resume, I strongly suggest participating in a webinar.”

“Antonio with the Career Services department did a wonderful job not only making me feel welcome to the university, but also helping me improve my resume and widen the scope of my job search. Without his resources, I wouldn’t have been able to get the job I currently have. I highly recommend utilizing this department—even if you don’t think you need help, I promise you will find something worth your time.”

“As a career changer, I needed to learn about the new field I wanted to enter, and Antonio Riggs helped me on this journey. I graduated many years ago, but when I called the office of Student Career Advancement & Success at the University of Michigan-Flint, I was pleasantly surprised at the excitement level of Mr. Riggs. He was very eager to find people in my targeted industry who were willing to talk with me and share their experiences. Mr. Riggs warmly introduced me to several individuals who were invaluable in learning about what the new position entailed and how to enter the profession.
After chatting with his connections, there was an invigorating aftereffect that occurred. Several of these warm connections, in turn, introduced me to their colleagues, which yielded more learning opportunities and put me in position to build more relationships. These conversations were instrumental in understanding my second career path and pivotal in making an informed decision. As a result, I found the right position at an amazing company with good-hearted people, which is exactly what I needed, and I believe this career will be one of the purposes in my life. Thank you to Antonio Riggs, for making me feel welcomed with your kindness and warm nature, and for the effort and support that you were so willing to share.”

“I’m a freshman here at UM-Flint majoring in Music Performance. I found out about ‘Career Services Workshops’ through Handshake. By going to these workshops I learned about how to start developing professionally, which was very helpful. Since it is very important for me to start preparing myself so that in the future I can connect with employers and be able to have an internship or a job.”
