notredame as the password.
Focus is a web-based career exploration and self-assessment system that helps the user

self-assessment. Personalized feedback is provided while researching more than 1,200 careers at

page to assist in seeking interns, entry-level employees or senior-level executives among current

who have professional success stories can answer current ND students' career-related questions.
