Office of Career Services

Career Services helps students & alumni navigate a world of opportunities.

Explore

First, learn about your own values, skills, interests and personality, and explore the many occupations that exist in the world of work.

Experience

Next, gain experience (through internships, volunteerism, leadership roles and part-time jobs) to "test the fit" of different occupations and develop marketable skills that employers seek.

Engage

Effectively search for a job or apply to graduate or professional school by setting target goals, researching opportunities and marketing yourself. Learn resume writing, interviewing, networking, etiquette and more. Make the transition to the world after Southwestern!

We teach career-management skills (e.g. resume writing, interviewing, job search strategies), provide opportunities to explore a variety of occupations and help students and alumni make connections to employers, graduate and professional schools and other resources. Students and alumni can access these services through visits to our office and by attending our programs.
