How You Can Help?

Students

• Refer students to University Career Services for assistance with career development and employment issues and questions
• Encourage your students to set up their profile on CareerLink for both internships and jobs via St. John's Central
• Invite us to speak in your classes at all levels to discuss career related information aligned to your academic discipline

Alumni

• Remind your majors that, when they graduate, they will be in the position to mentor students in the classes behind them.  They can sign up to become a mentor in University Career Services' COACH (Count on Alumni for Career Help) program through CareerLink.

Employers

• Collect information about internships related to your major. Share this information with University Career Services
• If you meet an employer who is interested in your academic program and your students, invite him to post opportunities by referring them to University Career Services and CareerLink.  If possible, get his/her business card and give it to career services for a follow-up contact
• Attend Information Sessions, hosted by visiting recruiters who are hiring your majors. This kind of interest on the part of faculty goes a long way toward cementing bonds between organizations and the University
• When your department hosts a visiting speaker or a seminar with outside experts, find out if the speakers will talk with students interested in pursuing the same careers. If so, inform the career center and we will work with you to make arrangements for this type of networking
