Student Use of Career Center Correlates to Job-Search Success
Posted 08/22/2009 2:00 PM
A recent study by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) found that students in the United States who take advantage of multiple resources (e.g. resume database, on-campus interviews, career fair, practice interviews, etc.) at their career center (i.e. MSOE Career Placement Office) were more likely to find a job than students who only utilized limited resources or didn't visit the career center at all.
Nearly 26 percent of those who reported "intense" use of career center services (i.e., the student used a variety of services, not just the most popular offerings-job listings and resume development help) had accepted a job compared to 21 percent of those who didn't use the career center. Similarly, 50 percent of those who reported intense use had a job offer compared to 43 percent of those who didn't use the career center.
The MSOE Career Placement Office staff is here to help your search. Stop by today to find out how!
