The Career Services Center is here to help ALL students
discern, develop, and pursue meaningful career path!
- DISCOVER is a great tool to help you identify your skills, interests, and values which will help you make intentional career decisions, and build a plan for success.
- Ask your professors for advice and networking contacts. Our faculty are very connected and often bring years of industry experience to the classroom. This is a great way to obtain leads on potential internships and jobs.
- Consider utilizing our reciprocity arrangement with other career centers at Jesuit institutions. These career centers might know of opportunities in their region that Marquette University professionals would not be aware of.
- View the alumni profiles in MU Connect, our alumni on-line community. Many alumni have volunteered to help current students with their job search. You may login to MU Connect and search for alumni who work in your field/region of interest and whose ability to network may assist you. To login to MU Connect, please see https://www.mu.edu/gateway/.
- Also through the https://www.mu.edu/gateway/, consider utilizing Golden Eagle Search, a job search WebCrawler. It is a way to search internships and jobs by skill area from over 5 million national job postings.
- Don’t forget to sign up for MU Career Manager to access internships and full-time positions, participate in on-campus interviews, and benefit from employers who are specifically interested in Marquette students being able to search for your resume.
- Consider making an appointment with one of our career counselors by calling our office at 288-7423, or by stopping by. Our counselors can help you focus your job search, give you networking tips, etc.
