Transitions: First Job / Today's Workplace
Most Syracuse students move on to
employment following their graduations. These transitions can
be eye opening for certain and sometimes scary. While networking
with professionals can be helpful, and internships and career-related
employment can provide glimpses of the life to come, students
still may need guidance to make these transitions effectively.
The Center for Career Services provides the following
to assist students to transition smoothly to the work world:
Information Resources
+ Links to articles, advice, and tips on first job and
workplace transitions (See below)
+ Books on career management and related topics
Programming
+ Annual workshop series on transition topics, frequently
delivered by employer representatives, alumni and other experts
+ Annual Diversity Business Summit focused on the transition concerns
of persons from a variety of traditionally underrepresented populations
+ Programs targeted specifically at international students whose
grasp of the American workplace is frequently marginal
Individual Advising
+ Daily drop-ins, i.e. 10-15 minute, unscheduled interactions,
for answering quick questions
+ Longer appointments for lengthier discussions of, and coaching
on issues related to transition
+ Access to SU alumni through Mentor@SU which adds to the advice
given by staff members
More information on these topics and details of
related programming can be explored with Chuck Reutlinger, Associate
Director for Information Resources and Services, by calling him at
315 443-3616 or by
