5 Steps Toward a Successful Career

Step I - Career Counseling

Individual counseling is done on a one-on-one basis with those students who seek direction in making career choices. Students are urged to call our office for an appointment.

Step II - Résumé Writing/Critique and Interviewing Preparation

The key to a successful job search is an effective résumé. Students are assisted in producing résumés that result in action, proper interviewing techniques, and job search strategies.

Step III – On-and Off-Campus Part-time Jobs

Assistance is available to coordinate part-time employment on campus. Many outside local companies and vendors employ students on a part-time basis throughout the year. Flexible hours are available and employers are willing to work with students’ schedules.

Step IV - Job Fairs

In an effort to connect students with local businesses, we host two general Career Expos each year- one in the fall and one in the spring. These events give students the opportunity to explore career paths, network with employers, and learn about internships and full-time opportunities. We also offer "Lunch and Learns" featuring local businesses and industry professionals. These small-group sessions provide an interactive environment where students can hear real-world insights, ask questions, and engage in meaningful conversations about career development.

Step V – Full-time Employment After Graduation

We assist our students after graduation in their transition from student to highly productive employees, in résumé distribution, job opportunities, and current trends.
