Like you, we want our students and alumni to be successful. Our role is to inform and counsel students about career development and transitioning out of college, as well as give them opportunities to meet with employers and mentors. Below are services we offer you to assist in student career development.
We will bring the information to your class. We specialize in customized and standard presentations to classes and student organizations about a host of career-related topics such as resume writing, job search strategies, interviewing skills, and “What to do with a Major In…”. In addition, we can arrange presentations by professionals (many of them alumni), who can relate their experiences and how their major has helped them in their careers.
Assignments are always a great way to get students to engage in the career development process. One that has become particularly popular with our faculty/staff is InterviewStream, an interactive online video-based interviewing tool which uses a webcam to video a practice interview (we have a technology room in our office for students to use if they don’t have a webcam). InterviewStream provides feedback and tips of non-verbal behavior and communication missteps. If interested in using this tool in your class, please contact us for more information, including how to get started.
Do students come to you for advice and input? Feel free to refer students or contact us for consultation around career-related topics. We help students explore career options and action steps for their interests, career goals, skills, values, and personality. During their academic careers, students use Career Services to develop essential job-search skills. We help students access the resources for job outlook, salary, and employment trend information.
Our career fairs attract many recruiters to one event. You are always invited to attend and find out which employers want to hire Beavers. Our career fairs provide an excellent opportunity for you to meet with representatives and establish a network of contacts from companies and industries that you can connect with your students. Oftentimes faculty/staff will encourage their students to attend the career fair and sometimes offer extra credit as an incentive. We also offer workshops about the job search process, resume and cover letter writing, internships, graduate school, and speed mock interviews throughout the term.
We know employers who want to know you. Employers often ask for the contact information of faculty or staff, who could help them get connected with students. Ideally, employers would like to develop mutually beneficial relationships with faculty and staff, and can provide many forms of support. If interested in learning more, please contact our Employer Relations Manager, Lindsey Reed.
We assist in identifying quality experiential education opportunities. Experiential education is such an important part of your students' overall educational experience. Through our network of employers, we can help your students identify internship and cooperative education opportunities that will best serve them in their academic and professional pursuits. If interested in learning more, please contact Adry Clark.
These are just some of the services we offer. Please call Career Services at (541-737-4085) to determine how we can best serve you.
