Welcome

Welcome to returning students and greetings to our new first year students. You have been subscribed to Career Services’ weekly e-newsletter, the Pitzer Planet.  As you may already know, our office has resources, services, and programming for students in ALL class years and ALL majors (including those who are undecided). 

We understand that each of you is probably in a unique stage of career decision-making. If any of these statements describe your current state of mind, then please stop by our office:
 

·         I want to go to graduate school but I don’t know what program to choose or how to begin the process.

·         I need a non work-study job.

·         I want to do an internship but don’t know where to begin looking for one.

·         I have to declare my major next year but I don’t know what to choose or I can’t narrow down to just one.

·         I’m going to have to look for a “real job” after graduation but have no clue how to begin.

·         What can I REALLY do with a liberal arts degree?

The following is just a partial listing of what Career Services can offer you:  alumni career connections, career-related books (many available for overnight checkout), individual career counseling, fellowship listings, internship listings, job search assistance, online job search links, resume writing assistance, mock interviews, and more!  We have even created a “Four Year Plan” to help you through each year at Pitzer.
