Jobs with private security or investigations firms are more like a business job search. You should check the help wanted ads or visit the office in person to inquire. Another source of information is the bulletin board outside of Dr. Lab's office on the second floor of the Health Center. We post job-opening announcements that are sent to the program on the board for student information. Although not comprehensive, these tend to be jobs that are within the state and positions for which agencies are actively seeking candidates.
Government jobs tend to follow a specific process and are very formalized.
This includes public notice of any job openings. Being prepared and diligent in your job search and application efforts will greatly improve your chances of success. Every year several of our students go on to graduate school or law school. These can be rewarding experiences both professionally and personally. Graduate degrees in criminal justice, public administration, business, and psychology can benefit criminal justice professions.
