How Career Services Can Assist Your Department and Students

| Career Counseling | Our career counselors can help your students explore their choice of a major and identify appropriate jobs and internships. |
| 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. |

| 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. Through a partnership between Career Services and Interfolio.com credentials are managed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
