Career Services provides a variety of career development opportunities for students and graduates
including contact with local employers, resume writing, effective job-hunting techniques and
interview preparation workshops, and individual career counseling sessions.
Career Services encourages students to get to know their assigned advisor in the 4th mod of
their core program. It is best to make an appointment so your advisor can set aside the time
necessary to thoroughly discuss your situation and needs. This is also a good time to get the
advisor's input about local employers and their job leads. Career Services Advisors are available
Monday through Thursday and office hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Friday from 8:00 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m
They work with students and graduates to assist them in the job search process.
They don't get the job for you, but they do:
- Conduct workshops on a variety of job search topics such as resume writing, job searching, and interviewing
- Locate and develop job leads
- Process job orders from local companies
- Screen and send out resumes for jobs that match qualifications and interests of students they are assisting
- Advise students and graduates about all aspects of career placement
- Keep students and graduates informed of extra job leads, local Job Fairs, articles and anything that may be of assistance in the job search process
- Meet with local employers to cultivate relationships and encourage them to hire Coleman College graduates
In Career Services workshops, each student receives a Career Services Workbook that contains valuable
information about writing winning resumes and cover letters, interviewing techniques and typical
interview questions, salary negotiating, business etiquette, professional image and job search
strategies. Mock interviews are also conducted.
As you draw closer to graduation, you will have many questions about the types of employment
opportunities that will be available to you, and how to secure your first job in the world of
information technology. Your Career Services Advisor will help you every step of the way.
During the 4th Mod of the core program and before beginning your job search,
you are required to complete the following items and return all paperwork to your advisor.
- The "Work" file on Papa Bear.
- Students needs to E-mail their resume to their assigned Advisor in MS-Word format and for CGD students PDF format is accepted.
