About the Career Services Center
The WVU Career Services Center, which assists students in identifying meaningful career options and preparing for the world of work, offers a variety of services for students at all levels of career development.
As students begin to understand the relationship between majors and careers, the Center offers Orientation 151, an online course, designed as a “career fitness program” for successful career planning, and its sister course, Orientation 252, “The Job Search,” which assists students with documenting their background and college experiences as they begin to target various career options.
To help students gain experience, we encourage them to use the Student Employment Office. The Student Employment Office is a central location that classifies and houses a collection of on-campus and off-campus job postings. To use the service, a student need only be enrolled at WVU.
This year, the Center is offering new services for students searching for employment. All students can register for Career Services through our new portal, MountaineerTRAK. This new service will allow students to submit their resumes for review by a Career Counselor, search for full-time and internship employment, schedule on-campus interviews, and register for career fairs.
We also offer ‘career advice’ via the Career Lifeline on the MIX. The site shows targeted career-related messages to students.
To provide students with a greater range of career opportunities, WVU has entered into a contract with CSO Research & MonsterTRAK.com, to create WVU MountaineerTRAK, an online job posting, interview and event scheduling, software system for college students and alumni. In addition to posting jobs, internship opportunities and part-time positions daily, the site offers a variety of career development resources, resume and interview advice and job search strategies geared toward college students and recent graduates.
During the academic year, the Center also hosts job fairs and special recruitment programs. Please browse through Career Services’ web pages and resources and discover why your career begins here.
