CAREER PLACEMENT

• Career inventories-interest, skills, and work values

• Resume reviews/writing

• Interview tips/preparation

• Career/Occupation Exploration

• Job Searching tips

• Referrals (Students must register with Academic Advisement & Career Placement (AACP) office, provide an updated resume, express an interest in the job opening, and provide a signed consent form before referring. Otherwise, a student can have their resume reviewed before directly applying to the employer and inform AACP if they are applying directly to the employer.)
   

Career placement really begins with career planning. Whether you are a new or continuing student, starting fresh or making a career change, you need to understand your skills, interests, and values before deciding on your academic program or pursuing your career path. You also need to understand what knowledge, skills, and abilities are required for your chosen career/occupation to obtain the training that can prepare you for the position. Students should research the companies/industries to understand their mission and goals, the type of job openings, applications, and job requirements, and to learn about a company's culture. Understanding yourself, the market, and the industry, can help you better prepare (for job searching, resume writing, interviewing, etc.) and make an informed career decision.
