Fall 2021: The Career Center is open for in-person business. Appointments are offered in-person or virtually and can be scheduled on Handshake.

All resources are also available 24/7 online on TartanEdge.

Job Searching

The Career Center receives leads from our network of employers – and we curate them here for our students and alumni. We also offer advice on job searching strategies and the application process.

Start Early and be Strategic

Successful job searching requires more than a good resume and cover letter. The average job seeker is invited to interview for only around 10-20% of jobs he or she applies to, but there are many ways to improve your chances. Networking (both online and face-to-face), developing a strong brand and being strategic in your approach can help you land the job that is right for you.
