Career Assistance

Interacting with Employers
Career Services provides many opportunities for students to interact with employers. Some of these opportunities include Part-Time Job Fairs, Full-Time Bi-Annual Job Fairs, Employer Round Tables Discussions, On-Campus Recruitment, Informational Sessions, On-Campus Interviews as well as Industry Visits/Tours.

Job fairs
The Metro D.C. Campus holds a Part-Time Job Fair within two weeks of the start of each new semester. Full Time Job Fairs are held twice a year in the spring and in the fall. Students are encouraged to keep abreast of activities sponsored by Career Services by stopping in the office, reading the bulletin boards and by reading their students e-mail accounts. Many activities require pre-registration and are at no cost to the student or graduate.

Internships
Students are encouraged to participate in internships after completing two full semesters for full time students and four semesters for part time students. Students are not guaranteed an internship, however, if students have a GPA of 3.0, or higher, and they complete a one-hour Job Search workshop, they will be able to utilize the Internship Employer Database as a resource while conducting a self-directed search.

Associations
The Career Services Office has many resources listing various industry-specific associations. Students are encouraged to join one education related association while they attend school and try to participate as much as possible to keep up on industry trends and networking opportunities.
