The 2011-2012 edition of Pathways: The Career Services Manual is now available online!
Pathways is prepared each school year to provide students, parents, alumni and employers with an overview of the Career Services office. Inside, you’ll find sample resumes and cover letters, guidelines for On Campus Recruiting, information about career fairs, interview advice and even examples of business etiquette and attire.
Physical copies of the book are available year-round in our office, as well as other major campus hubs and resources centers. Incoming freshmen and new graduate students may be given a copy as part of their new student orientation and parents can pick up copies during move-in or over Parent’s Weekend in the fall.
This year, we are also please to provide two electronic editions. A PDF version for your PC, Mac or Amazon Kindle and an ePub version for your iOS device, Nook or other completable e-reader. Click on the link of your choice now and begin utilizing the many resources that Pathways has to offer, as the summer winds down and we gear up for yet another exciting year here at Penn.
In observance of Independence Day, Career Services will be closing at 2pm on Friday, July 1st until 9am Tuesday, July 5th.
We wish you all a safe and happy fourth of July. Remember, that if you need assistance over the holiday weekend, this blog and the Career Services website can provide you with answers to many of your questions, along with a vast range of career related resources.
Happy 4th!
– Your Penn Career Services staff
