Faculty Guide to Career Services

Career Resources for the Classroom

Information about Majors and Career Paths
Need some ideas to assist students in exploring how their curriculum relates to careers? Our online Exploring Majors and Related Careers resource can help.

Tours
We encourage faculty members to bring their classes to the Office of Career Services for a tour so we can introduce your students to our library and resources. To arrange a class tour, please contact our office at 978-934-2355.

Don't Cancel Class Program
UMass Lowell's Office of Career Services understands that your life is hectic and that missing a class may sometimes be unavoidable. When those situations arise, Career Services' Don't Cancel Class program provides a way for your class to meet as usual, but with one of our career professionals who will deliver a career-related presentation designed to help students prepare for the world of work.

A sampling of presentations we could bring to your class, tailored as needed to your particular students:

Writing Resumes that Initiate Interviews
Cover letters that Get Results
Selling Your Best Qualities in Job Interviews
How to Make the Most of Internships and Co-ops
Work the Room: Career Fair Preparation
Networking for Professional Development
Transitioning from Student to Professional
What Can I do with a Major in ?
Job Hunting Strategies

If a topic you would like presented is not listed, we'd be happy to discuss your needs. We may also be able to host a workshop outside of your regular class schedule if you prefer.

Please allow us as much time as possible to schedule a presentation; however, we may be able to accommodate short notice requests. To arrange a presentation for your class by a Career Services professional, please call or e-mail the Office of Career Services at 978-934-2355 or career_services@uml.edu.
