Welcome to The Office of Career Services (OCS)

10 Reasons to Visit Your Office of Career Services:

1. First and second year students should make a CALLS appointment and receive a portfolio starter kit.
   
2. Explore the various majors, minors, and concentrations that are available here at Assumption College.
   
3. You will need to have at least two or three experience based opportunities, including internships, if you want to be a competitive candidate for grad school or employment when you graduate. Unless you are prepared to do some creative resume writing, it helps to get advice on how to make that happen.
   
4. You will have something to tell your family when they ask you (again) what your plans are after graduation,(translate: “how worthwhile was our considerable investment in your education?”) The staff at the office of Career Services (OCS) will give you permission to follow your own dreams.
   
5. You will learn to network through alumni and through social and family connections. Remember, for the rest of your life there will be two choices: networking or not working.
   
6. Most career centers will do practice interviews on videotape. Nothing improves your interview style more than hearing or seeing yourself in action. Schedule an appointment for a mock interview.
   
7. Your resume will be reviewed by an expert, so you won’t look like an amateur.
   
8. A career counselor can show you how to connect with internship sponsors and employers all over the world. Some will be on the net while others will be coming directly to your campus. Don’t delay or you may miss important deadlines.
   
9. At your career center there’s no pressure unless you put it on yourself. Staff members or counselors can coach you on handling your anxiety about that ‘rest of my life’ thing.
   
10. Once you get past your fear, it is fun to explore all of the possibilities. Your career center has information about pathways that you could easily overlook.
    

Our staff of Career Counselors look forward to meeting with you to determine the steps which you may take now in order to prepare for graduate studies or entrance into the world of work.
