Welcome to Career Services!

In the Spotlight!

Career Services will be closed Dec 22 through Jan 1 for winter break.

Winter Break is a Great Time to Work on Your Career!

Look at all the things you can do online, from wherever you are:

• See if you are on track with the 4-year career plan
• Find out "What Can I Do With This Major?" and research careers
• Read our Career Services Blog: Peer Into Your Career, especially the post “Make the Most of Your Winter Break”
• Check out the Graduate Follow-up Report and see where recent UMD grads are working (company/job title) or continuing their education (school/program). Find out salary ranges by major and much more!
• Prepare your resume, cover letter or personal statement and submit your documents for professional review (allow 10 working days)
• Take online assessments and learn about your interests, personality and skills
• Practice interviewing online. InterviewStream is a free, online tool you can use to select interview questions, record yourself answering the questions, review and retry until you are confident in your answers, and share with others for their input
• Learn how to present yourself professionally on social media sites and use them to advance your career
• Find resources to help you conduct a job search
• Search for internships and jobs on GoldPASS, LandIt!, GoingGlobal and other sites
• Plan to attend Spring Job and Internship Fairs; sign up for the U of M Job and Internship Fair
• See if graduate school is right for you and research graduate schools
• Download (pdf) or read the Career Handbook online - everything you need to know in one place

Save the Dates!

Spring Job & Internship Fairs start soon after winter break. Check the schedule and plan ahead (you will need to travel.)
