The Career Development office is much more than “the place to go to find a job” when you’re ready to graduate. In fact, we’re here for you from the first day you arrive at Nelson University! Throughout your academic career the Career Development office can help you gain Clarity (learn about yourself), Confidence (develop career readiness skills) and Connections (form a professional network). Meet with a Career Counselor to:
- Gain a better understanding of your skills, interests, and personality and learn how they relate to your career possibilities
- Increase your knowledge of the job search process
- Learn how to get an internship
- Write an effective resume
- Gain greater confidence in interviewing skills
- Learn about the process of applying to graduate and/or professional school
- Learn how to write an effective personal statement.
- And more!
