- The ASU Career Center is a major specific model. Meaning, there is a counselor that specializes in only a few majors, that way you get assistance tailored to your specific needs.
- Our career center counselor for Political Science majors, is Amanda Boland (aboland@aug.edu).
- The career center helps with resumes, mock interviews, full and part time job placement, and much more. It's best to meet with the career center early in your academic career so they can provide you the most assistance.
- A few upcoming career center events that may be of interest to Political Science majors (these will also be added to the calendar)
- October 14 - Community Involvement Fair 11am-1pm, meet with local non-profits about volunteer opportunities. Volunteering really helps to obtain new skills, as well as looks great on a resume (especially if you are lacking in job experience)
- October 19 Speed Networking Event - 2:30-4:30 Learn how to network at career related events, business etiquette, how to start conversations in group settings. You will need to preregister for this via the career center website
- There are free skills assesments available via the career and counseling center to help address your strengths and weaknesses
- A great resource for Political Science students is the American Political Science Association the website offers many career resources. (I will be adding the APSA as a permanent link on this blog in the near future) In addition, consider joining the APSA with a student membership (only $43/year). Belonging to a professional organization always looks good to future employers!
In other news: I've added two new sections to the blog:
Resources - links to websites that could be helpful to political science majors (looking for ideas for this page still!)
Robert's Rules - brief information about Robert's Rules of Order
