Career Services has many resources to help you decide on a major and explore career options.
Each of these offerings can be done in a brief amount of time (2-30 minutes) and taking more than one can help you identify core themes to explore further. As always, we encourage students to take these and schedule an appointment with Career Services to review in detail with a Career Consultant for mapping your next strategies in a career plan.

I utilized Career Services to my advantage when building my resume, and LinkedIn profile. After visiting Career Services, I was shocked with how my resume appeared; very professional. It advertised that I was interested in seeking out an internship opportunity with Channel 6. This may seem demanding, but I see it as determined, goal-oriented, and dedicated. Not only did Shameka Middleton help me with my resume, but she advised me on how to approach the interview, and the confidence I needed to overcome difficult questions during the interview. She also recommended I shape and mold my LinkedIn profile to appear appealing to employers. After I did this, I was beyond confident in how I advertised my profile. I ended up getting the interview and confidence in my performance is an understatement. I would not have been prepared for this moment had I not visited Shameka M. The result of it all, I got the job!
