Career Resources

Comprehensive career services from two of the principal sponsors of UW career week:

  • Vist the UW Alumni Association's Husky Career Advantage Web site which features access to the Career Connections networking with UW alums -- plus the job and talent banks of Worksource Washington and much more.
  • Check out the Center for Career Services at 134 Mary Gates Hall, 206.543.0535 or on the Web-for individual career counseling or to get the latest info about upcoming workshops and career fairs. Access internships, career-related student employment, and full-time career positions via the online job search system. Learn how to participate in on-campus employer interviews and the employer referral service.

    Other Useful Resources:

  • Take the class, Navigating Career Options, General Studies 350D, to learn more about how your academic experiences and interests connect with future careers depts.washington.edu/careers/student/navigate.html.
  • Explore which career options are a good fit for you at the Student Counseling Center (401 Shmitz) by taking career assessments such as the Strong Interest Survey and the Myers Briggs Type Indicator, and talking with a counselor about your results.
  • Odegaard Library has a special career materials kiosk that houses books and directories with information about academic majors, internships, graduate programs and admissions tests, and employment options. Career and graduate school information is also available via the library's Information Gateway Website. Suzzallo, the Business School, and the Engineering libraries also have directories and online databases with useful information.
  • Try your interests out through "hands-on" experiences, while you are still in school. Check out the Carlson Center's Web site and pursue internships and other "experiential learning" opportunities. Academic credit can be arranged for many of these opportunities by registering for General Studies 350.
  • Talk with an academic adviser. Ask them what past graduates from your department have done after graduation.
  • Use the online UW Faculty/Staff Directory to find contact information-and then talk with professors, instructors, and teaching assistants (TAs) about their academic departments and their fields of study. Ask about graduate school options.
