Faculty and staff play a vital role in the promotion of Career Services to EIU students. We are always eager to collaborate with faculty and staff to provide students with the essential tools of career development. Career Services has numerous services and resources to support students as they choose majors, search for jobs and internships, and research career and graduate school opportunities. If you do not know where a student should look next, please refer them to our office.
Career Services introduces InterviewStream, an online video-based interview prep system, geared towards the YouTube and MySpace Generation. Students can now take their interviewing techniques to the next level--making interviewing smarter, not harder. Contact Career Services to find out how you can integrate this system into your classroom curriculum and projects.

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.
