Career and Major Exploration:
What Can I Do with this Major?
Through this resource, students can review the types of careers that correspond with majors and the strategies needed to enter those careers. Websites related to the career fields are also available.
Individual Appointments
The Career Center staff is available for individual appointments with undergraduate and graduate students as well as alumni. While most appointments are conducted in the Career Center, graduate students in Macon and Warner Robins often use our services via telephone and email.
If you need a career advisor to review your resume, provide job and internship search assistance, or discuss career options related to majors, we recommend scheduling an appointment. Before major events such as career fairs, students are encouraged to schedule a resume critique session.
Appointments can be made Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Drop-in questions are always welcome, but an appointment is always recommended for longer advising sessions. Contact Pam Spires at (478) 445-5384 or careercenter@gcsu.edu.
Career Testing and Career Counseling
The Career Center and Counseling Services work closely together to serve students pertaining to career issues. When students are unsure of their career interests, we often refer students to Counseling Services to complete a career assessment and review the results with a professional counselor. You may continue to meet with the professional counselor in the Counseling Services office if you need further assistance with self-assessment, interest and value clarification, resolving chronic indecision, or communicating with parents. Career assessments are free to students. Please contact Counseling Services in 132 Lanier to make an appointment for this service.
Once you have completed your assessment and are ready to develop a career plan, visit the Career Center to begin using our resources. We can assist you with exploring career related websites, networking with employers in your field, exploring internships, and assisting you with preparing for the job, internship, and graduate school search.
Career Development Workshops
Each semester, we present a variety of workshops to assist students prepare for the job, internship, and graduate school search. These programs are presented in an informal atmosphere and are ideal for students who are just beginning an aspect of the career development process. Many students choose to attend workshop before making an individual appointment.
All events are listed through Career Connection. We also welcome student organizations who would like to co-sponsor a program with us. To schedule a presentation for your student group, please contact Jennifer Cash or Michelle Berg.
