Develop a Career Strategy

We offer many services to students, including: individual career counseling, on-campus interviews (OCI), off-campus interview opportunities including job fairs, online job postings, job search strategies, job boards, resume and cover letter critique, remote interviewing room (for video and telephone interviews), and faxing and postage for job search related materials.

Creating Job Search Documents

When it is time to submit a job application, representing yourself with well crafted documents is essential. Your resume, cover letter and any other application documents requested by a potential employer are your individual marketing pieces. Realize that they may represent everything an employer knows about you initially and all that they can judge to select you from the pack of applications. Spend time before you apply. The information here is meant to provide basic guidelines.
