CAROLINE WILLIAMS, 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, and community service.
The Career Resource Center provides current information about majors,
careers, trends, course requirements, salaries, and the future outlook.
The Resource Center contains numerous periodicals, books, videos, and publications
with information that will help you select a career. Two computer-assisted
guidance systems are located in the center.
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, JOBTRAK, 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 274 to take advantage of these services,
or call (559) 278-7849 for more information.
A home page is available on the Internet. Besides promoting the recruitment
of our students, this site provides students with direct links to hundreds
of job sites now available on the World Wide Web.
