Career Center offers students job search help

The Career Development Center, 625 N. Jordan Ave., offers students everything from resume tips to information about graduate schools.\nArlene Hill, associate director of the Arts and Science Placement Office at the CDC, said there are many services within the CDC that help students search for a job. Career Counseling Services advises all freshmen and sophomores regardless of major and provides counseling on how to choose a major. The Student Employment Office helps students get a part-time job on or off-campus. The Arts and Sciences Placement Office, despite its name, is open to all students; it helps students find internships, provides on-campus recruiting and offers drop-in advising hours. At these drop-in hours, students can get help with resumes, cover letters, job search strategies, internship searches or graduate school searches. The Career Resource Library has the largest collection of career-related materials on campus. \nOther career resources available to students are placement offices, which are specific to their respective academic departments, Hill said. Each placement office assists the department's students with finding internships and jobs.\n"These offices are very important because not only do they provide the one time in their lives that the job comes to them, but they teach students how to market themselves," she said. \n• Career Development Center -- Contact Olivia Martinez at 855-5234\n• Arts and Sciences Placement Office -- Contact Alan McNabb at 855-0576\n• Chemistry Placement Program -- Contact Steven Wiestock at 855-2700\n• Kelley School of Business -- Business Placement Office -- Contact career consultants at 855-5317\n• Education Career Services Office -- Contact Sarah Crandall at 856-8532\n• University Division Health Professions and Prelaw Information Center -- Contact John Simpson at 855-6768\n• Health, Physical Education and Recreation Career Services -- Contact Harriet Castrataro at 855-2462\n• School of Journalism Placement Office -- Contact Marcia Debnam at 855-1704\n• School of Law -- Contact Kathleen Buchler Austin at 855-0258\n• School of Public and Environmental Affairs Placement and Internship Office -- Contact Richard L.
