Career Counseling
Students may set up career counseling sessions on-campus to get help with academic or vocational choices. Skill surveys in making career choices are also available. Contact Career Services at careers {at} capitol-college.edu, for more information.
Students interested in co-op positions should contact Career Services during their sophomore year. Undergraduate students seeking full-time employment upon graduation should contact Career Services during their junior year. Graduate students should contact the office six to nine months prior to completing their program.
Resume Preparation
If you do not have a current resume, make an appointment with Career Services to get started. Staff will work closely with you to evaluate your academic performance and previous experience. After this initial consultation, you will have an outline of a resume. You can then compose a draft resume and continue making revisions until a final resume is complete. Both OptimalResumeTM and the Online Career Center are excellent resources to help you with this process.
Interview Preparation
Career Services staff can help you to prepare for job interviews by providing you with possible interview questions, suggesting materials to bring and offering you other tips for a successful interview experience. Contact Career Services to set up an appointment.
For Employers
Career Services offers free services to employers who want to recruit our students. Register your company at the Online Career Center to give us information regarding an opening and post positions. You can also email, fax or call Career Services to notify us of your opening. Include a detailed description of your company and the position - including location and requirements - and how you would prefer applicants submit their resumes.
Job descriptions will be posted in the Online Career Center for at least 30 days, during which students and alumni can independently apply for the position. We also try to match the job description with the resumes we have on file. A company representative can also choose to receive information about ongoing recruiting opportunities at Capitol College, such as technical seminars, Career Fair and Career Day.
