ROBERT HERNANDEZ, Interim Director

The Career Services (CS) office assists you in formulating a career development plan that will permit you to put your education to work in a satisfying and rewarding career field.

CS provides services that help you develop and implement your career plan. Services include career counseling, part-time employment, cooperative education, job search workshops, full-time job interviews (held on campus), and career information. This service is free to enrolled students and is available to alumni for a nominal fee.

To receive assistance, telephone (559) 278-2381 for an appointment or see a counselor for consultation on a walk-in basis.

Undergraduate Career Services. Ideally, the career decision-making process should begin as soon as you enter the university. Consider talking with a counselor who will assist you in making your career decision by directing you to the appropriate service: career testing, workshops, computerized guidance systems, and/or career information. Other resources available include Career Day, the Career Information Network, and the Resource Center. These services and resources will help you select a major and career goal compatible with your career interest.

Undergraduate Employment. Whether you're looking for a part-time or summer job to help you with expenses or a work experience that will help you prepare for your career, CS offers a number of undergraduate employment and work-related learning opportunities. To discover what opportunities await you, visit Joyal Administration, Room 256.

In addition to gaining valuable experience through working or volunteering, you will have a realistic means to test your career decision. In some cases, you will also earn academic credits. (See Students for Community Service.)

Depending on your interests, goals and financial needs, you might be interested in accessing services through any one of our undergraduate programs, including student employment, cooperative education, internships, community service, and scholars service grants.

The Career Resource Center. The center provides current information about majors, careers, trends, course requirements, salaries, and the future outlook. The Resource Center includes computers for job searches and contains numerous periodicals, books, and publications with information that will help you select a career. Two computer-assisted guidance systems are located in the center -- Eureka and SigiPlus.

Graduate and Alumni Career Services. CS offers a wide variety of employment-related services for graduating students and alumni of the CSU system. Career employment can be obtained from current employment listings, from national, regional, and local organizations that actively recruit through campus interviews, from job fairs, monsterTRAK, and job searches on the Internet. CS also maintains an active program designed to assist teachers and other education professionals in obtaining positions at all levels of education. Visit Joyal Administration, Room 256 to take advantage of these services, or call (559) 278-2381 for more information.
