We’re Here To Help!

The Engineering Career and Co-op Center is here to assist and guide you from the moment you set foot on campus for the first time all the way through evaluating and accepting those full time job offers. We encourage all of our students to get started as early as possible on their career success journey by coming in to meet with our full-time staff or our Career Peers!

    Be sure to select the appointment type “EGR – Co-ops & Internships” in Handshake.
  • Do You Have Drop-In Appointments?

    While our two full-time team members do not have the ability to accept drop-ins (because they are busy accepting your Handshake appointment requests), our Career Peers DO take drop-ins! You can stop in any time during the Career Peers’ office hours to begin building a resume, to have your resume reviewed, to learn how to write a cover letter, to get help with your job search, and for beginner interview prep!

    Our Career Peers look forward to working with you when you drop in the Career and Co-op Center!
  • Interviewing: Mock Interviews, Strategies, and Skills

    Whether you are preparing for an internship/co-op interview or an interview for a full-time job, we can help! Plan to spend 60 minutes with a team member to learn about the kinds of questions you can expect, how to answer them, and how to prepare for future interviews.

    Be sure to select the appointment type “EGR – Interviewing: Mock/Strategy/Skills” in Handshake.
  • Hunting for your co-ops, internships, and full-time jobs can feel daunting, but the process doesn’t have to be! Sit down with one of our staff members to learn more about the most effective ways to go about your job search.

    We can help you develop a strategy and a timeline for your search as well as provide resources to aid in your search!

    Be sure to select the appointment type “EGR – Job Search Strategies” in Handshake.
  • Resumes & Cover Letter Writing

    Your resume is one of the single most important marketing pieces you will have while searching for co-ops, internships, and full-time jobs. There are definitely “rights” and “wrongs” when drafting your first resume or editing an existing resume. The same can be said for your cover letters!

    We want to help you get it right, so make an appointment to receive feedback and suggestions to put together the strongest resume or cover letter possible!

    Be sure to select the appointment type “EGR – Resumes & Letter Writing” in Handshake.
  • Full-Time Job Offer Evaluation/Negotiation for Graduating Students

    If you’ve received a full-time offer or full-time offers, you don’t have to navigate that process alone. Make an appointment to sit down with one of our staff members to go over your offer(s). Evaluating an offer involves understanding it fully and learning about the benefits and other elements included in the offer. Additionally, we will review the salary offered and compare it with our data to provide guidance on the negotiation process (when necessary).

    Please don’t ever accept an offer on the spot! Take time to consider the offer even if it is a dream position.

    Be sure to select the appointment type “EGR – Job Offer Evaluation/Negotiation for Graduating Engineering and Computer Science Students” on Handshake.
