For KSU Students & Alumni, we offer several services:

Cover Letter Help

A cover letter is an introduction to your resume. It shows the employer your writing capabilities and allows you to highlight your skills and interests more completely than is feasible with the resume. Call our office to make an appointment for a one–on–one cover letter review.

Resume Assistance

Your resume is a critical step in the career search process. Without a resume that “sells” you, the career position you are looking for will pass you by. Is your resume a “behavioral” resume? Does it reflect your career potential? Does it revolve around the position you seek? Let Career Services help you create a resume that achieves these goals.

Digitally Recorded Practice Interviews

If the resume is the sales tool, interviewing is the sales pitch. A Career Services Professional will be happy to do a one–on–one digitally recorded practice interview (also known as a mock interview) with you to strengthen those all–important interviewing skills.

Experiential Education

The key to any successful career search is experience. The Career Services Center offers two excellent opportunities to help you gain the experience you need. To further explore Cooperative Education (Co–op) and Internship, come to one of our Introduction to Experiential Education information sessions.

Career Library

The Career Services Center is filled with books on career strategies and professional journals listing career opportunities in many of those hard–to–find career fields.

Career Conversations

Professionals from the employment community make panel presentations each semester to address career opportunities in specific career fields.

Career Expos

Several career fairs are conducted each year in the areas of Business, Non–Profit and Government, and Education. These provide wonderful opportunities for all students and alumni to meet with potential employers and to explore careers.

Online Career Portfolio

The Online Career Portfolio (OLCP) was created to encourage student success. By utilizing the OLCP, you will have a better understanding of how your experiences, both on– and off–campus, develop skills that prepare you for a career after college.
