Dear Rutgers
Parents:
Does your
son or daughter know where the Career Services office is at
Rutgers-New Brunswick? Actually, there are four Career Services
locations - three in New Brunswick and one in Piscataway.
You might just surprise your child by pointing him or her
toward Career Services.
|
|
| Career
Services is here to help your son or daughter to choose a major,
find an internship, and determine if graduate school or the
workplace is the right step following graduation. Our mission
is to work with students to aid them in understanding their
interests, skills and values and how they relate to the world
of work. We provide a wide range of resources, including individual
career counseling, resume and personal statement critiques,
career seminars, on-campus interviewing, internship services,
employer information sessions, job fairs, and an extensive website.
We cannot guarantee that your son or daughter will get a job
and move out of the house after graduation, but we certainly
can assist your student in making connections and gaining a
competitive edge. |
|
Check
us out in person (Busch Campus Center, 46 College Avenue and
56 College Avenue) or online through this website (http://careerservices.rutgers.edu).
Or contact me directly at  .
Sincerely,
Dr. Richard
L. White
Director, Career Services
