Career services
provides a rich variety of resources and opportunities to help students
and new alumni to pursue and develop creative, fulfilling, and socially
responsible lives. Organized around the idea that a liberal arts
education is both its own end and the best preparation for meaningful
engagement with the world of work, the office and its staff provide
career counseling and coaching to assist Reedies in discerning career
paths, obtaining internships, pursuing graduate and professional school
admissions, and understanding the world of work. Through special
programs and individual counseling, students develop skills in
networking, resume writing, interviewing, and job or graduate school
search strategies; through actual volunteer, internship, and work
opportunities, they enhance their understanding of work and its meaning.
Library resources include information about a broad range of
careers, internships, fellowships and awards, graduate school
directories, and other "beyond Reed" opportunities. Local and national
job listings include part-time temporary work and full-time
professional positions.
The alumni career network provides access to Reed graduates, who
provide career, employment, relocation, and graduate school information
to students and recent alumni. Career Preview helps students explore
careers through visits with local alumni at their places of work.
