Career resources

The Career & Life Design team is here to help international students build for what’s next in their careers. As an international student at Carey Business School, you have the opportunity to connect with the Career & Life Design team for guidance in your professional journey. Take advantage of resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile support in group or one-on-one conversations with a member of the team. Prepare for post-graduate career opportunities through resources such as interactive workshops, coaching appointments, and alumni and industry connections.

“As an international student, I utilized the Career & Life Design resources because the requirements for resumes are different in the United States than in China. My career coach helped me organize my resume and gave me the tools to prepare for interviews.”
