Job Search

Meeting with a counselor is the first step in developing your job search strategy. Many students wait until the week before graduation or after graduation to start thinking about what they are going to do. Ideally you want to start thinking about your career goals during your sophomore year. My Career Goals worksheet may help you to develop short and long term career goals.

Millersville University has partnered with College Central Network to provide students, alumni, and employers a 24/7 employer database. This site allows employers who are looking specifically for MU students the ability to post their positions and search the resume database of MU students.

On-Campus Interviews

During the fall and spring semesters employers will visit campus to interview students for openings within their organizations. As a graduating senior, you are encouraged to take advantage of this service that brings employers to you. By downloading your resume on MUCCN you will receive emails that will notify you when employers will be coming on campus and the deadlines to notify our office if you would like to have your resume forwarded to the visiting organization. Remember, to participate you must have your resume posted with MUCCN. We recommend you register with MUCCN two semesters before your graduation date.
