How Sonoma State University Career Center Used Jobscan to Scale Meeting Capacity by 700% When They Were Forced to Go Lean
Two career advisors, a 2,500:1 student ratio, and a career fair calendar that left no room for deeper student work — see how they went from 100 to 800 meetings a year without adding staff.

Two advisors, a 2,500:1 ratio, and no time for anything beyond basic resume reviews
Sonoma State's career center ran on one-on-one advising, but 90% of meetings went to resume, LinkedIn, or cover letter reviews — leaving no time for career discovery or workshops, on top of the three annual career fairs the same small team had to staff. "It was very clear what we couldn't give the students," said Becky Sandoval Young, Career Coordinator. "We were just chipping away at their needs."

"There's no way I could have continued to do what is required of me if I didn't have Jobscan."
Becky runs 3 large career fairs and 3–5 employer tabling events a year, bringing 200–300 employers to campus — on top of day-to-day advising, with just two advisors on staff.
