Career Planning

The Career Services Center supports the mission of Concordia University Irvine by assisting undergraduate students to determine and fulfill their career goals.

The MIT Global Education and Career Development Center (GECDC) helps students develop the self-awareness and skill to explore, clarify, and implement solid career choices.

There are many career choices open to English majors who choose to seek them out and more importantly, there are many employers who see English graduates as offering good potential for entry level jobs.

American job satisfaction is at its lowest level in two decades across all generations, but Generation Y hates their jobs the most. This does not prove Millenials are lazy and hate working; rather it simply means they don’t like entry-level jobs.

Career advancement opportunities, not flexible schedules, are the highest motivating factors for Generation Y in the workplace, according to a recent study.

NBC Universal was named the number one company for Generation Y employees in a recent ground-breaking study. While it’s common to create reports of employer desirability, the Top 50 Gen Y Companies report is the first of its kind to base the criteria solely on things that matter to Gen Y: fraction of Gen Y employees, gender balance, pay and the company’s “green” score.

Many members of Generation Y are pounding the pavement right now, trying to land a deal in that entry-level sales position or trying to get their foot in the door. But, roadblocks are inevitable. The most frequent being the assistant, the gatekeeper, who won’t let you talk to the hiring manger or the decision maker. So how do you get around the gatekeeper roadblock?

Can the career center affect the job-search success of its students?
Results from NACE's 2009 Student Survey* show that students who used career center resources intensely were more likely to land a job or get a job offer than others who didn't use or used the career center in a limited way.
