Services offered by the Career Services office


Services offered to GC faculty

  • Class presentations
    We can conduct presentations to the classes you teach and the student organizations you advise about a host of career-related topics, such as résumé writing, job search strategies, and interviewing skills. In addition, we can arrange presentations by professionals (many of them alumni), who can relate their experiences and how their major has helped them in their careers.

    We are willing to help out in a pinch! If you are considering canceling a class, call us to see if we can schedule a career-related presentation instead.

    Career services can help faculty members connect to human and organizational resources. Whether you're looking for ideas for a Senior Seminar or sample résumés for a writing project, contact , director of Career Services, to explore resource options.
