Employment for Students

As you prepare for the world of work, to enhance your outcomes, there are steps you should take in the application process.

Although earning a college degree comes with no “guarantee” of success, individuals who take the time and initiative to become familiar with the job search process should be rewarded with adequate opportunity. Your degree, major, skills and personal characteristics are of interest to others, but you must “package and present” yourself well to maximize your outcomes.

The following libguide was developed by the Career & Professional Development Office at UPIKE to assist you as you implement your career plan.


You’ll find opportunities in many states and countries and with employers of all shapes and sizes. All UPIKE students automatically have an account. You can access your account from links throughout the UPIKE website!
