Career
Services and all academic departments at Rutgers
share a similar mission: to prepare our students
for meaningful and productive careers beyond
Rutgers. Whether students are gearing for graduate
school or the workplace, they will benefit from
the partnerships that are forged between Career
Services and your department. Here are some
concrete ideas on how we can work together for
the mutual benefit of our students and our departments.

speakers, panelists or corporate presenters. |

Counseling |
Our
career counselors can help your students explore
their choice of a major and identify jobs and
internships within a career context. |
|
|
Career
Planning Site |
Students
can utilize the Rutgers Online Career Planning
Site to identify their interests, skills, and
values and see how they relate to Rutgers majors
and jobs obtained by Rutgers graduates with those
majors. We recommend a follow-up career counseling
session. |
|
|
Class
Presentations |
Our
career counselors can make 15 - 50 minute presentations
in class on a variety of career-related topics,
including job hunting, resume, writing, and interviewing. |

candidates for advisory boards, co-op and internship
opportunities for your students, and fund raising
prospects. |

assist your students with their graduate school
applications through our annual graduate admissions
fair, graduate school seminars, GRE test prep
seminars, and personal statement critiques. |

career counselors can assist your students to
find internships, which can enrich their academic

Rutgers
Credentials Service |
The
Rutgers Credentials Service maintains letters
of reference for current students and alumni
for use in applying to graduate school, teaching
positions or other employment opportunities.
A typical file contains three letters of recommendation
from professors. The Rutgers Credentials Service
is now online. Through a partnership between
Career Services and Interfolio.com, credentials
can be managed 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. Visit http://www.interfolio.com/recommendationwriters/
for more information.
In
addition, the following links may be useful
