Career Counseling

The Career Center provides career resources and assessment tools for students to gather information about choosing a major and career path. These avenues provide a framework for exploring and confirming academic and career goals. Career Consultants are available to assist students in all aspects of the career decision-making process. Typical topics include:

  • Making career decisions related to choosing a major, exploring career options, skills, values, and interests.
  • Identifying and applying for summer internships, volunteer opportunities, and campus employment.
  • Creating a resume, cover letter, and reference list.
  • Developing interviewing skills.
  • Learning to conduct an independent job search.
  • Optimizing on-campus recruiting opportunities.
  • Reviewing the graduate school application process.

Individual counseling appointments can be made by calling (412) 268-2064.

Student Employment

, Director of Student Employment

The Student Employment Program promotes experiential learning and professional development. All fulltime students are permitted to work on campus, regardless of work-study eligibility.

Campus jobs are posted for either the academic year (fall and/or spring) or the summer session. Interested students contact the employer directly through their email address or a web-link. The employer interviews applicants and select the candidate to hire.

TartanTrak

The Career Center uses TartanTrak to post employment opportunities and administer the campus recruiting program. TartanTrak is a searchable database of full and part-time jobs, internships, and on-campus employment. It is also a database of interview schedules, resume books and employer information sessions.  Registered students can upload their resume, apply for positions and schedule interviews for internships and jobs.
