Thank you for taking time to focus on your student’s career development needs. We are happy to help either by consulting with you directly or by meeting with a student you have referred. The Career Services Network assists students in all stages of their career planning and decision-making process. The assistance provided by career advisors is different from that provided by academic advisors; we do not assist the student select specific courses to meet academic requirements. Career advisers focus on helping the student develop a personal strategy to meet their career goals beyond their current degree program through:
- Uncovering their skills, interests and values. Career assessment tools are one way to accomplish this. Learn more about career assessments.
- Identifying career options and finding career related experiences to make informed choices
- Effectively articulating skills learned both in and outside the classroom for employers and graduate/professional schools
- Polishing resumes or cover letters
- Creating a job or internship search strategy
- Preparing for interviews
- Developing a plan and materials for applying to graduate or professional school
- Connecting to professional networks
