SJSU Career Cente

Posted in

Some students have known the answer to this question since they were 5-years-old, others are still trying to figure it out. Regardless of which boat your student is in, the Career Center offers a variety of tools to help them throughout their journey.

Students that are still in exploration mode can take self-assessment tests to identify strengths and interests. The Career Center has a number of assessment exercises on their website. Another option for undeclared students is to take EDCO 004: Personal, Academic and Career Exploration. This is a course offered through the College of Education and teaches students about career development planning.

In addition to self-assessment, the Career Center will help students build their resume, help them prepare for interviews, and has a search engine for jobs on and off campus as well as internships. Internships are a great way to get real world experience, build resumes, and possibly even make some money. It is never too early to start planning life after college, with workshops and career fairs every semester, your student will be prepared. Visit their website yourself to better guide your student when the time comes.
