Career counselors meet with students to discuss all aspects of career planning - from choosing a major to identifying interests, values, and skills, obtaining an internship, researching careers, and conducting a job search. For those at the beginning stages, an individual appointment with a counselor can help you narrow down your options and develop an action plan for exploring a career field. If you have already decided on a given career path, a counselor can help you research a company, refine your resume, and prepare for an interview.
Career Services administers (free of charge) the Strong Interest Inventory to assess your interests in a variety of areas and suggest career fields and job titles for you to consider. Students should contact the office for an appointment to access this online instrument. Once completed, the results will be emailed to a career counselor who will contact you to schedule a time to review and discuss them. Other informal self-assessment tools are also available through one of the Career Services advisers.
The Career Services Library is open between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Drop by anytime to take a look at the resources available. Review a sample of the titles included in CS Library.
Alumni can be a great source of first-hand information on a particular career field. Career Services can help students locate alumni around the globe who will discuss their occupation, explain effective job search tools and techniques and even give advice on relocation.
Current Seniors and Juniors can access the Alumni On-Line Directory directly and use it to further their career research and networking efforts. Scroll down to where it says First Time Visitors Register Now to begin.
Career Panels, panel discussions on various career topics, are held throughout the year. The panels are comprised of established professionals, typically alumni, who give an informal presentation then open the discussion to all attendees.
Check our Calendar of Events for information on this semester's panels.
