Students

Career development begins when you arrive on campus and does not stop when you graduate.

From being a first-year student unsure of potential majors to graduating seniors scheduling a mock interview before the real thing, we can help you no matter where you are on your path. Schedule a meeting with a trained career development advisor.

Preparing for an interview can seem intimidating. While you can discuss why you are the best fit, you have the opportunity to see if it is a good fit for you, too. A mock interview with an adviser is the best way to get realistic experience, but the following are helpful resources:

While some leads can be found through networking, there are many websites, organizations and services to help.

Bridging Programs

A resume and cover letter both are instrumental in your job search. A great cover letter and resume will help you get an interview and further consideration. The Hubbard Center provides resume and cover letter critique sessions during the Walk-in Advising hours and by appointment.

Continued Support After Graduation

The Hubbard Center can provide assistance with your resume, direct you toward job search resources, and help you with career exploration. Alumni continue to have access to Handshake, the job and internship portal, but may need to request an account. If you need assistance with Handshake, contact hubbard@depauw.edu.
