Education Careers Action Plan

Stop by any Career Services office to pick up our fall or spring Events Calendar, Career Services Guide, action plans and other free handouts.
Attend Career Services sponsored workshops and orientations especially designed for students in the Graduate School of Education.
Prepare your résumé or graduate school personal statement and have it critiqued by a career counselor. For your convenience, attend the résumé critique session at the Graduate School of Education each semester.
Stop by and pick up the AAEE Job Search Handbook for Educators ($1.00), published each fall by the American Association for Employment in Education.
Check the education job binders at 46 College Avenue for current openings. Also consult Teaching Opportunities, a monthly periodical with teaching and administrative positions from 7,000 school districts in 28 states. Online jobs earmarked for Rutgers students and alumni are available through CareerKnight.
Attend the Education Career Day in February at the Rutgers Student Center. Plan to attend early in the day.
Set up an online credentials file in support of your applications for teaching positions or graudate school. To register and set up your file log on to http://www.interfolio.com/.
Seek an "internship" (usually several months) or "externship" (usually one week) to gain first-hand exposure to school, other non-profit or corporate environments. Consult employer directories, including the on-line New Jersey Internship Guide, available on the Career Services website.
Consult the online Alumni Career Network to identify Rutgers graduates by major. Call or write them to inquire about why they chose their major and how it impacted their career.
Become active in student organizations or do volunteer work to develop career-related skills.
