The Career Services office located in room 2002B of Andersen Library offers an array of services to all UW-Whitewater students. These include individual and group counseling, occupational information regarding employment trends, salary data, supply and demand data, library resources for each major, computer guidance systems, and career and job search assistance. Students are encouraged to utilize these services early and often during their studies at UW-Whitewater. We would like to draw your attention to a few particular services past students have found especially helpful. Individual Counseling Meeting with a counselor can help you explore options in education, firm up a major, select a minor that can compliment a major, review placement statistics, and identify ways to obtain a competitive edge in the job market.
Help is also available with writing effective job search letters, resumes, and interviewing skills.
Many seniors enroll in this course prior to student teaching or during their final semester. The course meets Wednesday evenings the first eight weeks of each semester. The purpose of the class is to prepare you for a successful job search. Statistics indicate approximately twice the placement rate for those taking the course versus those not enrolled. This course is highly recommended by most past students.
