The Career Center assists students, alumni, faculty, and employers. Our staff can assist with resume critiquing for students and alumni.

In addition, students and alumni can also create Handshake profiles and connect with prospective employers.

Our office also provides many other services covering all aspects of career and degree information.

• Faculty can schedule staff members for presentations and workshops to help their students learn about writing resumes, creating cover letters, and gaining more information on interviewing.
• Employers can use our office to promote job listings, post positions on Handshake, and view student resumes.

By making an appointment with staff members in the Career Center, students can discuss potential job targets and gain useful insights about what employers are looking for in their resumes.

In addition, a staff member can provide students with sample resumes and advice on how to improve your resume.

Not only that, but staff members can also assist in developing curriculum vitae and other materials associated with finding the perfect job or graduate school for you.

The Career Center encourages students to use Handshake (free of charge) for guidance in locating internships and jobs from an array of industries seeking many majors. Students can access Handshake via the student portal (the same location for Blackboard access).

The more relevant information included on Handshake profiles— including uploading a current resume and listing key words that impress prospective employers— the better opportunities students have of finding job openings. Career Development can assist students in updating Handshake profiles so that they are professional and targeted to specific employers.

Please make an appointment to receive specific, one-to-one guidance.

Visiting our office can help you choose the career path that you want.

Our staff can assist you with using the online KUDER Journey platform to explore your personal interests, abilities, and values as they relate to the work field and different areas of study.

Our staff can then help you navigate through other areas of the program including sections on occupations, further education, and preparing for the job field.

With all of this information and the information you share with the staff member, you can rule out some majors and determine a few majors that may be a good choice for you.

Ultimately, choosing a major is your decision. However, this process leads you to the point where you are to make that decision.

Each fall and spring the Career Center hosts Career Fairs. Many employers from different job fields attend this event. Students and alumni seeking internships, part-time/summer work, and full-time employment can benefit from attending these career fairs.

Not only that, but our office posts job listings— both local and national opportunities— via Handshake.

In addition, on-campus Career Fairs provide students with access to employers in the community and throughout the state for on-campus interviews.
