The office of Career and Academic Planning uses a team of peer educators, the Career Education Officers (CEO’s), to provide outreach programs to student organizations and residence halls. If you represent an academic or administrative department please complete a Faculty/Staff program request form instead.

2007-2008 program topics are:

  • Sink or Swim: Getting a Job or Internship
    The purpose of this presentation is to walk students through the correct process of obtaining a job or internship. This presentation covers how to search for jobs and internships, the steps needed to apply for those jobs and internships, and how to narrow down your choices to determine which job or internship is best for you.
  • Write the Right Resume
    Learn how to write a resume and sell yourself on paper. We will give you tips on anything from fonts to form. We'll also talk about tips for your cover letter.
  • Interviewing Etiquette 101
    This presentation will highlight the do's and don'ts of interviewing and the professional world. From what to wear to how to answer tough interview questions to how to leave a job gracefully, we will have you covered to make the transition from casual to business - from college to the professional world.

All programs fulfill the C component of the Residence Life CAMP model.
