UAT: Finding a Job

How Can Career Services Help Me Get a Job in My Field?
The obvious goal of most students in a university is to secure employment, before or after graduation, in their chosen field of study. As many graduates are new to the job market and career searching, Career Services at UAT offers many avenues of assistance to help get you in the industry. We offer:

Individual resume, cover letter and interview counseling
Instruction on in-depth company and industry research (the purpose of which is to familiarize an applicant, more completely, with a company they intend on applying to. This allows for better questions during an interview and displays a level of commitment and seriousness to potential employers)
Recurring seminars for building the resume & cover letter
Recurring seminars for interviewing skills
Participation in industry conferences and events
Assistance with job and internship leads
Continual instruction about various job searching resources (i.e. job boards, professional organization membership, recruiters, THE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER (This is a tremendously valuable resource that seems to have been forgotten in today's electronic environment)
Continual, revolving contact with companies and industries to find available internships and permanent positions (within Arizona and Nationwide)

When to Start a Serious Job Search
It is never too early to begin getting serious about your career search, and you can setup an appointment anytime, but the best time to meet with your career services adviser is 6 months from graduation. The career services department has 3 career services advisers to assist you. They will be happy to assist with resumes and cover letters, resource suggestions and available leads for internships and jobs. As well, it is encouraged that students attend as many UAT sponsored conference trips and Career Services workshops as possible.
