Career Services offers a wide array of services designed to help students and alumni find satisfying employment in today’s ever-changing environment. If you are a student with questions about your chosen major (or haven’t yet chosen a major) Career Services has a number of resources to help you understand your opportunities and options as you plan your career.

Career Services maintains current information about campus work opportunities as well as jobs in the community, internship opportunities, and career options after graduation. The Coordinator of Career Services can assist students with setting up a placement file to assist in job and internship placement before and after graduation. Workshops on resume writing, interview skills, and cover letters are offered by Career Services in coordination with the UMW Learning Center.

Career Services offers assitance to all UMW graduates by providing valuable carrer planning and job searching skills, cover letter and resume writing samples, and interviewing best practices. The office sponsors a Career Week each spring as a way for UMW students to familiarize themselves with a variety of professionals and professions. Contact Career Services for more information!

If you are planning to student teach in the near future, Career Services can help you in several ways. The office has specific educational résumé samples to help you prepare for the experience. And with our help, you will complete the three-page professional form that can be the beginning of your placement (credential) file.

We also have information for all other degree candidates nationally and locally on this website. Paper resources are available in our office, as well as help with résumés and cover letters (letters of application).

And, finally, as a Western graduate, you can count on our help to find your next job. So as you explore this website, please feel free to contact us with questions or improvements.
