CAREER SERVICES &
PROFESSIONAL LIFE DEVELOPMENT


Welcome Students!

Welcome to new and returning USM students. We look forward to working with you to help ensure a successful year. We'll be attending all the welcome events, so be sure
to stop by and say "hello".  We're here to help you with your career path, whether it
is choosing your major, finding a work-study or other job, or figuring out what you
want to do with your life after graduation.

If you have work-study and are looking for a good job, we're hiring for both our Portland and Gorham offices. Give us a call or stop by. We are also coordinating a Work-Study Job Fair on Tuesday, Sept. 9th on both campuses. 

If you are looking for outside work, start with the link below. If you need it, we are here to help you with job search tips; resume and interviewing help; and both full and part-time jobs. 

USM is now partnered with experience to connect
you with entry-level jobs and internships.
 

Experience is the largest career resource destination specifically geared towards college students and young alumni. It provides extraordinary opportunities, real-
world insights and a network of inspirational role models to help you launch and
develop your career. Fortune 500 companies and alumni from hundreds of
universities use Experience to post thousands of entry-level jobs and internships.

Career Services has partnered with CareerTV to bring you a variety of videos with information of interest to you.

In this episode of CareerTV the team travels around the world to see social responsibility in action. They profile the Peace Corps, Teach for America, Mayo Clinic, and the US Air Force and learn why each of these employers were voted by college students as the most socially responsible in the nation.

Walk-in services provide students the opportunity to talk with a career specialist. No matter what your career question, we're here to help. Stop by!

Walk-in periods are designed to assist students who have brief questions or are in
need of a resume critique. If your resume is more than one page in length, an appointment may be required.

Walk-in's are on a first-come, first-serve basis and the number of students that
can be seen during each period is limited.

Students arriving in the final 10 minutes of any Walk-in period will be seen only if the Career Counselor's appointment schedule will allow.

FYI ... Walk-in periods can sometimes be hectic and you may need to wait your turn.
The counselor on duty will get to you as quickly as possible.  If you are traveling to campus just for the Walk-in period, we suggest you call first to confirm there are no last minute schedule changes affecting the schedule.

Walk-ins will not be held on days we have large events, such as our career fairs.
