Ways Parents Can Help

1. Encourage your student to visit The Career Center to discuss majors, internships, resume writing & planning for a career, plus so much more.
2. Make sure your student gets registered with Hounds4Hire as early as possible to connect with over 1200 Alumni who are willing to assist your student, to view job/internship opportunities, to schedule on-campus interviews and to obtain employer contacts.
3. Promote networking. Introduce your student to other professionals - your co-workers, friends, people who know through professional, community and social experiences.
4. Encourage use of our online resources. Your student can make an individual appointment to discuss how to use these resources most efficiently.
5. Read the parent's homepage to know social events The Career Center is hosting. Encourage your sons and daughters to attend these events.
6. Strongly recommend they attend workshops, specifically: Resume Writing and Other Professional Correspondence, Interviewing for Success, Part I, and Interviewing for Success, Part II.
