The Office of Career Development collaborates with all students and alumni of Spring Arbor University as they seek to understand the God given vision for their lives that aligns with their strengths, goals and academic interests. This journey is multifaceted, requiring support from a variety of avenues.

 

Internship & Job Resources

We know that looking for an internship or job can be stressful. Here's a list of websites and platforms where college students can find their next summer internship or their first job in their professional career.

 

 

 

 

Resume & Cover Letters

When composing employment correspondences, remember all the things your English teacher taught you about writing. Choose lively words, but remember to write professionally. Be interesting, be authentic, but above all, be error-free. Having a stellar resume and cover letter is essential to getting an interview. Time invested preparing these documents will pay off.

Check out some additional handouts for further help with your Resume or Cover letter.

 

 

 

 

Networking

Networking happens everywhere you go – not just at corporate functions. Every time you meet someone new you are networking and making connections that could benefit your job search. Take time to get to know people and let them know the types of jobs you are pursuing. Professors, family members, friends, alumni and people in the field can be helpful to you.

We partner with Handshake to provide you a platform for college students and recent graduates to explore career options, find jobs and internships for students and connect with employers.

Handshake
Mouse cursor.

LinkedIn is the leading online professional directory of individuals and companies. LinkedIn is used for professional networking, connecting, and job searching.

Globe.

Meet with people who work in the field that interests you…not for a job, but to educate yourself on what it is really like to work in the industry. You can also stay in touch with your internship supervisor and colleagues.

Envelope.

Your professors and staff are a free resource for you to learn from! Have a meal or coffee with a faculty or staff to discuss what your goals are. They can pray for you and provide valuable suggestions that could assist you in your search.
