Resources
Check out our  Handouts page of downloadable resources for resume writing, interviewing, networking,  job searching and applying to graduate and professional school.

If you’re in the area, stop by the Career Services´ Resource Center, which has a large collection of print publications for students and alumni to help explore career fields and conduct a job search.  There are even several useful workshops recorded on video available to watch at Career Services.

How are your etiquette skills?   Need a refresher?  Take our online etiquette course and brush up on your social manners.

The Internet is a great research tool for exploring careers and conducting a job search, but there is so much information it can be overwhelming. See our Internet Links section for a list of topics for which we have found and organized links to make your search a little easier.

Self-Assessment
Career Services has several assesment tools available for alumni to use to identify interests, skills and personality traits.  To get the results of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator personality assessment and the Strong Interest Inventory, you must contact Career Services for the password and schedule an appointment (phone or in-person) to get the results.  To learn more, visit our
Self-Assessment page.

Campus Recruiting
Alumni are eligible to attend information sessions of companies recruiting at Southwestern and, if space permits, participate in interviews (provided they are preselected to interview by the employer).  For details on recruiting events, see our
Calendar.
