The Career Services Network (CSN) helps students in all stages of their professional development – from the early stages of exploring career options and choosing a major, to internships and job searches. CSN support includes
- One-on-one advising appointments with career advisors to assist students in self-assessment, career exploration, decision-making, resumes and cover letters, job search strategies, interview preparation and negotiating offers.
- Career assessment tools to help students align interests and preferences to job type, majors and work environments: Strong Interest Inventory and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator can be interpreted with a career advisor, while Focus 2 allows for a self-guided experience.
- Career exploration events, such as guest speakers, alumni panels, networking sessions and industry trips (e.g., Spartan Start-Up entrepreneurship; sports careers; entertainment journalism; careers within government; careers in non-profits).
- Workshops ranging from resume writing and career exploration to networking and interviewing skills.
- Career Fairs, bring employers to campus for over 50 events annually including MSU On Campus and Local Job Fair, Graduate and Law School Fair, Student Success Career Fair, Summer Job and Internship Fair, Teacher and Administration Career Fair and more.
- On campus interviews with employers for entry-level and internship positions with over 10,000 interviews conducted annually.
