Career Center: University of Connecticut at Stamford
The Career Center offers help to current undergraduate students, alumni, and employers.
The Career Center offers individual or group career counseling. They also hold numerous career workshops on resume writing, interviewing, job search, and a variety of other career development topics. The Career Center also offers help with resume and cover letter preparation. There are members of the Career Center who help with career assessment. They also will help you prepare for interviews. To do this the Career Center holds mock interviews. The Career Center is also very up-to-date with the on-line job search. They will train you for Internet job searches. The Career Center has on-line job postings on monstertrak.com. Besides the on-line postings, the Career Center also displays information on bulletin boards throughout the campus.
The Career Center provides a Four-year career planning guide. I found this guide very helpful for planning my next four years as an undergraduate student at the University of Connecticut. The guide is the following:
