CENTER FOR

CAREER PLANNING

You want to make the most of your undergraduate experience and position yourself to be successful during your time at CNU and after. The way to success can be thwarted by lack of information, indecision and inefficient use of time and resources. The Center for Career Planning (CCP) will help you navigate the way. We support you in deciding on a major, learning about occupations, finding an on-campus job, and writing a resume to land that perfect internship or career. We'll provide information, advice and resources during individual appointments, workshops and panels while also hosting job and internship fairs and employer/grad school information and recruiting sessions and campus interviews.

Each year, the CCP works with thousands of students individually and through events and programs to help them move in their desired direction. Let us help you come up with your very own action plan to get more out of your CNU experience and position yourself for unlimited future success.

Connect Classes and Career By Talking to People

Learn how talking to people, whether you are exploring majors or careers or pursuing internships, employment or graduate school admission, is critical to your success. It requires presenting information about yourself, asking useful questions and doing something with the information you gain. Let us help you master these skills.

Pick Your Best Major. Learn About and Explore Occupations. Start Pursuing Your Career!

Doing your best academically comes from working hard, studying what you enjoy and finding ways to connect your academic experience with the employment and graduate school worlds. The CCP provides information on majors and occupations through individual appointments, workshops and career assessments so you can identify your interests, values and skills and see where these fit with major and career options.

Gain Experience in Your Field

Participate in a variety of CCP sponsored programs to gain understanding of and experience in your field of interest. Conduct an informational interview with people doing the job you want. Complete one, two or three internships during your summers or even during the academic year. We can help you find, prepare for and pursue these opportunities.

It's Not About Resume Building – It's About You

Pursue your passions! Take classes that interest you. Get involved in activities that you find meaningful. Study abroad. Conduct research with a faculty member. Don't do things because they make your resume better, pursue things that excite you. Bring your experiences to the CCP and learn how to translate the value of your experiences into a narrative, so people understand what makes you tick and want to have you as an intern, employee or grad student within their organization/school.
