The university provides a comprehensive career service for students enrolled in graduate and professional studies throughout New Brunswick/Piscataway. 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. An online 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.
Career services also sponsors an on-campus recruitment program. Through this program, over 200 employers from business, industry, and government agencies come to campus each year.
