This class is VERY practical. All the skills learned in this class are directly applicable to entering grad school or the work force.

Andalon is a great professor and this class is a great resource to jumpstart students into their careers. We learned how to make a LinkedIn, create a Resume and Cover Letter, and at the end create a career portfolio using all of the assignments we had been doing throughout the quarter. Being able to finetune my professional documents has been a lifesaver while also getting major credit. The class fills up very quickly because it is useful and the professor does not try to ruin your GPA.

I recommend attending lectures because most of the time there is a guest speaker who is a UCLA Alum and they share how they got to the position they are in today, using their Sociology degree.

Easy A, but unprofessional Professor. So unclear with instructions, unnecessarily strict over the most simple things, and will lecture for hours about absolutely nothing. Most people didn’t show up to class because it was useless. Just read his slides online. If you need an extension or have any questions, good luck! He will chastise you and is extremely aggressive. Take this class for an easy A where you won’t learn anything and deal with nonsensical procedures.

Super doable light class, plus it can be pretty useful. Final is basically just compiling all the assignments you did earlier in the quarter and submitting it as a portfolio. Sample resumes, cover letters, interview thank you notes, etc and some reflections. Overall would recommend!

This class is so helpful if you are starting to look into your career after UCLA. Professor Andalon goes through everything in detail you need to prepare and anything you could possibly face. I reworked my entire resume and was successful in getting a much-needed internship. I also looked into alternate career paths too, which will be helpful. Great class with material you can definitely use.

TAKE CLASSES WITH PROFESSOR RICHARD ANDALON. HE IS LITERALLY THE BEST. Makes his classes super accessible for everyone. Worth it. I learn so much and the workload is reasonable.
