Three alumni will share from their experiences of discerning a vocation, networking with successful professionals, constructing a résumé, composing a cover letter, and interviewing for a job.

Shane O’Reilly (’95)

Shane is the staff vice president for corporate sourcing at Anthem, a company that has $80 billion in annual revenue. Sourcing requires the understanding of an intricate needs analysis and then contract negotiations to meet those required needs. His success at Anthem has given him a greater appreciation of how valuable the College’s academic program can be in equipping workers for an idea-driven economy.

Sharon Reiser (’99)

Sharon is the College’s director of foundation relations, responsible for proposal writing and reporting, writing direct-mail appeals, and managing the annual donor letter project. Before coming to work at the College, she studied screenwriting, worked in property management, and volunteered for several years with the Raskob Foundation for Catholic Activities, Inc.

Mark Kretschmer (’99)

Mark is the College’s registrar and director of student services. He previously worked at Kinko’s Inc. After starting at an entry-level position, he was quickly promoted three times in his first six months. At 23 years of age he became the youngest branch manager in the Los Angeles market, responsible for $1.5 million in annual sales.
