Career Resource Manual


The Career Resource Manual is one of our most popular resources for students during their internship & job search. Each year our Coordinators review and edit the manual to make sure the most asked questions are addressed as well as information addressing currents trends is included.

The Career Resource Manual is available in here as a PDF. We also offer paper copies of the manual at South Hall.
