The university provides a comprehensive career service for students enrolled in graduate and professional studies throughout New Brunswick. Graduate students concerned with career issues, career decisions, preparing résumés/ vitae, developing interviewing skills, and conducting a job search are encouraged to take advantage of this service. Seminars, workshops, and special programs designed to meet the needs of students with advanced degrees are offered each term. Individual counseling is available by appointment.
Career libraries at three locations house resource materials to assist in the career development and job search process. These include career planning and development books; sample résumés/vitae; current job listings; employer directories; federal and state job information; company literature; testing information; and internship, fellowship, and grant information. A credentials service is available for students and alumni who wish to compile letters of recommendation for future use in applying for employment or advanced degree programs.
The career services office also sponsors an on-campus recruitment program. Through this program, three hundred to four hundred employers from business, industry, and government agencies are invited each year to come to the campus to interview qualified students.
For further information concerning career services at Rutgers, students should visit one of the career offices located at 61 Nichol Avenue on the Douglass campus (732/932-9742); 46 College Avenue and 56 College Avenue (732/932-7287), both on the College Avenue campus; or the Busch Campus Center (732/445-6127).
