Rutgers' career services offices have professional career counselors available to assist alumni in resolving career concerns. Comprehensive one-hour sessions are available for a modest fee. The career offices also administer career-interest assessments and sponsor workshops on all aspects of career planning and employment. New Brunswick Career Services director Richard White says each year over 10,000 students and alumni participate in these events. That's why it's good for alumni to attend.
Meetings feature guest speakers and special presentations on career and employment issues.
The Rutgers Resume Database gives an applicant direct exposure to New Jersey employers. Some of the categories are business, education, health, computer science, math, the arts, and communications. At the School of Business in Camden, alumni are offered a free orientation for dealing with start-up ventures. For more serious concerns, free or low-cost confidential, professional counseling sessions are available at the school's Regional Small Business Development Center.
