STUDENT DEVELOPMENT CENTER

Job Placement

The Job Placement Office component of the Student Development Center is staffed by a Coordinator of Job Placement. The Job Placement Office helps a career program student maximize the benefits of education by providing assistance with all aspects of the job search process. A career oriented student may take advantage of one-on-one assistance and workshops on topics such as networking procedures, resume writing, completing applications, honing interview skills, follow-up procedures after interviews, and more. A student should register three semesters prior to graduation to establish a placement file and become eligible for career placement services. All students are encouraged to meet with the Coordinator in their first semester on campus to initiate plans for gaining experiences that will help build their resumes.

The Job Placement Office also has an Employment Interviewer from the Georgia Department of Labor. The Interviewer provides a wide range of services, including employment referral opportunities for all college work study students and for all other enrolled students seeking part-time and full-time, on-campus or off-campus employment.

The Georgia Hire program is a job listing database and resume referral system to assist in employment searches. Via the Internet, Georgia’s college students and alumni can search job openings and enter their resume into the system at no charge. Employers may access the resumes free of charge and/or choose to post their job openings for a small fee.
