Career Center Upcoming Events

The UGA Career Center offers many special activities to help students make the transition into the world of work.

Campus Interviews at UGA

Each year, over 300 companies come to The University of Georgia’s Career Center to interview students for entry-level, full-time positions and summer internships. While these companies represent a small segment of potential employers, they are a very important group. They have identified UGA students as a good fit for their organization and are actively seeking our graduates.

Resumes that Rock!

Resumes offer an employer their first glimpse of a potential job candidate. It’s essential that your resume make a favorable impression on that employer. Your resume will be quickly scanned, rather than read. Ten to twenty seconds is the average amount of time you have to persuade a prospective employer to read further. As a result, the top half of the first page of your resume could either make you or break you. By the time the employer has read the first few lines, you have either caught their interest or not. You want your resume to have the same result as a well-written ad: to get the reader to respond.

Interviewing 101

Congratulations! You’ve landed your first interview. Here’s your chance to impress that employer face-to-face. So how do you prepare for the big event?

Applying to Graduate School

A graduate education gives you a chance to learn more about the things that interest you most and to develop your interests and skills into a full-time career. A graduate degree can influence how fast and how far you advance in your career. It can increase your earning power, enhance job satisfaction and the amount of responsibility you assume. A graduate degree can also give greater flexibility to change careers.
