The Tippie Career Services team members focus on the fundamentals that support career success. We continue to be strong partners with the Pomerantz Career Center which offers a robust selection of career programs. We encourage you to engage early and explore all the services and tools available.
One of those tools is this career guide. It contains detailed information, advice from alumni, and worksheets on a variety of topics for each step of your journey – from developing your elevator pitch and networking skills, to conducting the search, and navigating the offer.
Additionally, you can leverage these resources:
- Ability to schedule 1:1 coaching meeting. These meetings are opportunities for you to receive individualized support in defining career goals, how to approach the job/internship search, interview preparation, mock interviews, negotiations, etc.
- Programming that highlights topics such as “How to Use LinkedIn,” “Career Fair Preparation,” “Professional Documents,” and “How to Interview Using the STAR Format.” These programs are offered both in person and virtually.
- Tools and resources including this career guide, online platform (Handshake), Big Interview, and case materials.
