Career
Center
The Career Center offers services to help students prepare
for their careers. Career counseling and editing assistance for all job search
documents are available through drop-in times or by appointment. In-depth
information is available on the Career Center’s website. Pre-employment
preparation assistance is provided through mock interviews and a variety of
seminars on such topics as resume writing, cover letter writing, identifying
marketable skills, interviewing skills, networking and
conducting an effective job search. The Career Center offers a credential file
service to assist PhD students applying for academic positions after
graduation.
Representatives of business, government, industry,
education, and social agencies recruit UT Dallas students and alumni through career
expos and on‑campus interviews. The Career Center manages the Internship
program for all majors, except EE/CS majors. Most on-campus student employment opportunities
are listed through the Career Center, with the exception of TA and RA
positions.
Part-time jobs, both on-campus and off-campus, full-time
jobs, and on-campus interview schedules are posted through CareerWorks. All students complete
an online registration for CareerWorks, linked directly from the Career
Center website. Students upload a résumé into the system in order to apply for
qualified positions or to make it available for employer referrals. Employers
may have access to candidate résumés via various web résumé books set up in the
CareerWorks
system.
