Early planning and discussion about career and life interests create a position of flexibility and possibilities where windows of opportunity can be developed. As a Macalester student, the challenge is to purposefully engage in this building and planning process. Workshops can also be developed for student organizations to meet group needs. Resources Library - Directories, job listings, graduate school information, career exploration computer programs, video tapes, and occupational information are available in the library in Lampert 202. Networks - Alumni from all over the world serve as a resource network for students and other alums.
Alumni also share their experiences in campus seminars and workshops.
In the office, career exploration programs and other resources are available for students to use on the computer. In addition to being available in the job notebooks in the resource library, and listed positions on the World Wide Web, we also have access to national employment databases. On-campus recruiters, and statewide and national job fairs are also offered. Print Resources - Informational resources have been developed specifically for Macalester students. The Transitions notebook for seniors, a graduate school manual written with Academic Affairs, and How to find a summer job are just a few examples.
