Career Center
Greetings from the Career Center!
Carnegie Mellon University holds as its highest ambition the lifelong personal and professional success of its students, faculty, and staff, and the broader welfare of the local and global communities to which our members do and will belong. We have long prided ourselves on developing a training ground for the best and the brightest to achieve in all arenas, consistent with their enormous talent. Our success in curricular and research opportunities for professional skill development is without equal. It is with this in mind that our attention focus expands to professional development more broadly defined – professionalism, organizational savvy, communication and interaction skills, and leadership skills – and to creating the opportunities for training and experiential learning related to professional development.
This professional development endeavor is an ongoing and comprehensive collaboration. Whether in your first year or final year of matriculation, the entire Career Center staff is here to support you, and most specifically, your Career Consultant will serve as your mentor through this process.
Establishing a relationship with your Career Consultant is the most important first step on your journey. Just as your faculty are leaders in their field, so too are our Career Consultants among the most skilled professionals in the country. In addition, our recruiting and employer relations team has developed exceptional connections with hundreds of the top employers around the globe. Together, we will ensure your success whether you are still exploring careers or have clarified your goals and seek specific help with your job search.
The end result of this journey will be a seamless transition into your career, graduate school, or other meaningful enterprise. Toward that goal, we work tirelessly to assist you at every opportunity. Certainly, we look forward to becoming an integral component of your university experience.
Best wishes for a wonderful year!
