Career planning is a process that begins when you enter college and continues throughout your life. We hope to provide services to support your own professional advancement, as well as encouraging you to share the sum of learning gained through your life experiences with our current students.

  • Are you dissatisfied with your current career and seeking a change? Is the possibility of downsizing, layoff or company closure in your future? A Career Advisor from the Career Development Center can meet with you to discuss how your transferrable skills can be applied to a new career. The process can start with self-assessment, then lead to career research and evolve into revising your resume and cover letter to match the qualifications of your ideal position. CDC staff members can also provide helpful tips on how to conduct an effective job search, discuss the importance of networking, and the best way to prepare for an interview.

  • Conducting a job search can be challenging. We know. It is hard to get the process started, hard to keep going, and has about the overall appeal of a root canal.

    An effective job search is a full time job itself. You need to become organized, dedicated, and committed to this job. This means keeping track of your activities, staying focused and optimistic, and getting proactive in managing this search.

    Remember, the Career Development Center can help with each step and has contacts, strategies, networks, and job postings to help you every step of the way.
