Career Planning/Picking a Major
Many students come to Eastern as undecided majors or simply do not know what types of careers they can obtain with the major that they have chosen. Career Services provides a variety of tools for students to use when determining the right career field for them.
InterviewStream
Career Services introduces InterviewStream, an online video-based mock interview system, geared towards the YouTube and MySpace Generation. Students can now take their interviewing techniques to the next level--making interviewing smarter, not harder. This online system can be integrated into your classroom curriculum and projects. Call Career Services to find out how.
Letters of Recommendation
As a faculty member, you have been called upon many times to write letters of recommendation for students applying for jobs, internships, and graduate school admission, among other things. Due to growing concern over what should and should not be included in a letter of recommendation, we are providing you with helpful resources and guidelines.
