Finding a job or internship is a process. The required preparation is similar across all searches and includes: exploring connections between majors and careers, industry research, building your professional network, and writing application materials like a resume and cover letter. Our career counselors and resources can help you prepare and strategize your search process.
Jobs
Understanding recruiting processes, hiring timelines, and how to prepare are key when navigating the job search. Whether you are entry-level or an experienced professional, we will help you take on your search from researching and planning, to preparing and negotiating.
Internships
Internships are short-term work experiences that allow you to observe and participate in professional environments. They are also a great way to explore how your interests relate to possible careers. CCE can help you find, fund, and make the most of your internship.
