Student Resources
Career Services provides a variety of programs, ranging from selecting a major during
your first year to preparing for graduate school or a job search upon graduation and
thereafter. Individual career counseling, resume/cover letter critiques, mock interviews,
and a variety of other services are available. The Career Resource Room provides access
to resources focused on career planning, graduate/professional school application,
and job search information. We highly encourage you to view our Career Planning Guides
on this site for a tremendous amount of information in regards to career planning,
the job search, and graduate school admissions.
As a student you can attend workshops on interviewing, resume/cover letter preparation,
networking, graduate/professional school admissions, life after McKendree, and other
topics. By connecting with Handshake, your resume will be available online to employers seeking to fill their job vacancies,
and you can view part-time and full-time jobs along with paid internships openings.
We also encourage you to check out our part-time bulletin for jobs that have continuous openings. In addition, the Career Services Office hosts/co-hosts
several job fairs and other networking events throughout the year.
McKendree University is proud of its strong undergraduate internship program. The
internship experience complements traditional coursework by providing students with
junior and senior status the opportunity to apply classroom theory in a work environment.
Internships are available each semester in a variety of companies and organizations.
Please contact Career Services to discuss how an internship can benefit you.
We encourage all undergraduate and graduate students to visit us soon after they arrive
on campus. We are here to assist you in order to make your life at McKendree an even
more valuable experience.
