Most first-year students will wish to focus on defining their personal values, interests and skills and testing their academic strengths through introductory and exploratory coursework. Efforts to translate general career goals into specific employment or graduate study plans should characterize the junior and senior years , including graduate school admissions examinations, preparation of resumes and credentials files, networking and job interviewing. Career-related services are provided by a variety of offices. Some provide services to all students, while others provide services for specific populations. Your first step should be to contact the office in your School or College or the Syracuse University Center for Career Services .
Services are available to all graduate and undergraduate students and alumni.
The types of services are varied to meet the needs of all people in all discipline areas and at various stages in career planning and placement. Juniors can take advantage of these same services and also get a head start on a permanent job search and the graduate school application process. Graduating students can interview with employers and use the Center's services to achieve their post-graduation goals. The School of Architecture Career Services Center provides resume, cover letter, portfolio reviews and workshops, and on-campus recruitment presentations. The office maintains current information on job opportunities, including summer positions and employment to graduating students.
