SUCCESSWORKS

SuccessWorks is a place where L&S students from all majors can explore their interests, connect with others who share their passions, and develop skills they need to take their next steps toward success. They offer tools such as Discover Careers, Job Search Tools and Strategies, Interview Skills, Graduate School Prep, Career Development courses, and On-Campus Interviews.

If you explore “Career Communities” on the left dropdown of their page, you will find areas of career focus.  Each of these areas has a Facebook community where you can locate pertinent job postings, internships and other connections in your job field.

The “Events” section is also useful for viewing upcoming Career Fairs and other SuccessWorks events (Mock interviews, Employer Info sessions and workshops).

You can make an appointment to get one-on-one help!  Their new office is above the bookstore on the State Street Mall.
