Career Center

It is wise to begin looking for jobs well before the beginning of the semester in which you will graduate. The Career Center, located on 2111 Bancroft Way, is a good place to begin looking for a job. Visit the placement office at least one semester before you graduate and leave your resume with them. The Center offers a four-part seminar for Ph.D.s on searching for academic and non-academic jobs; for information on job-search orientation workshops (given several times each semester), contact them at 642-1716. To aid you in academic job-hunting, they offers a dossier service through which they maintain and forward as necessary confidential letters of recommendation which you solicit. Every few weeks they put out a list of companies that will be visiting the campus; this list is posted periodically outside 373 Evans. For on-campus interviews, you need to go through the placement office. If you are interested in any of the jobs listed, call 642-8148 for information. They also have a library which contains many companies' addresses.
