The Career Center is much more than "the place to
go to find a job" when you're ready to graduate. In fact, we're
here for you from the first day you arrive at UCLA!
We can introduce you to an array of career possibilities and help
you explore the link between majors and work options. If you've already
picked your dream job, we can help you develop skills and strategies
to get to where you want to go.
Along every step toward receiving your degree, the Career Center staff
is ready to help you make and re-evaluate career choices, write resumes,
practice interviewing, build networking skills, and gain "real world" experience
through internships.
When it's time to begin a full time career, we can put you in touch
with hundreds of challenging entry level positions in a wide variety
of regional, national, and international organizations. If graduate or
professional school is your goal, we'll assist you with the program selection
and application process.
The Career Center's friendly and professional staff, along with a complete
lineup of personal and web based services and resources, will help you
prepare for a great future and a great career.

Your resume is a powerful marketing tool to land an interview.
It's an important part of your total package, and must be concise, appealing,
and informative. There is no right or wrong way to write your resume. It
is a personal statement, and should reflect your unique experience, personality,
and style. Your objective is to communicate what makes you stand out as
a stellar candidate.
