With so many routes to explore, it is important to create a plan. That’s what Career Services did and continues to do for me.

A Plan for You

The Four-Year Career Development Plan is curated to progress with students as they explore and experiment. By design, it will help students reach important milestones.

Career Services is a partner each step of the way. As students clarify their goals, Career Services advisers — dedicated practitioners and industry specialists — guide and support them.

Your Four-Year Journey

The plan centers around eight career development areas.

  • First-years begin by cataloging their strengths, interests, values, and identities with career advisers, and exploring broad career areas through alumni-led panels and informational interviews. Students practice basic career skills, like writing a résumé.
  • Sophomores grow their awareness of industries and roles, working directly with a career adviser and participating in alumni programming, such as SophoMORE Connections. Developing networking skills and learning how to apply to internships helps students land a professional experience for the summer.
  • Juniors hone their interests and focus on pursuing research or a summer internship, often supported by alumni. Advisers coach students on strengthening interviewing and networking skills. Students take advantage of opportunities provided through Â鶹¾«Æ· to build industry-based skills and knowledge.
  • Seniors focus on applying for employment, graduate or professional school, and fellowships. Leveraging the knowledge and skills they built throughout their time at Â鶹¾«Æ·, they are poised to evaluate offers for a fit with their academic and career interests and personal needs — and ultimately, to launch their postgraduate career with confidence.

This is What Success Looks Like

Career development at Â鶹¾«Æ· means building relationships, not just a résumé. Students who engage with Career Services are greeted with abundant knowledge and opportunity with more than 200 formal recruiting partners including Amazon, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Goldman Sachs, Google, Mass General Hospital, National Geographic, NBCUniversal, and Teach For America.

Through the four-year career development plan, students leave Â鶹¾«Æ· with the understanding, confidence, skills, and experience needed to cultivate rewarding professional lives.
