Services
Below are the services offered for the current semester. From a simple resume critique to in-depth career development, the Career Center is here to assist you.
LIGHTNING JOBSOURCE
Lightning JobSource is the online student resume database, resume referral, and job
posting system used by the Career Development Center. Read more about the benefits of using Lightning JobSource.
CAREER FAIRS
The Career Center helps run several fairs throughout the year. If you are looking
for a job, internship, or co-op position, career fairs are great for connecting active
employers with potential employees. Learn about upcoming career fairs.
Drop off a resume or cover letter in KUC 328 and receive a written critique. Can't make it to campus? Submit your documents to us via email, and we will return a critique to you electronically: Send to pca@mtsu.edu and include the following in the body of the email:
- How will the resume be used: Seeking a part-time job? Full-time? Internship? Class assignment?
- If for an internship/full-time employment, what field, industry or career cluster are you targeting?
- What is your classification (Freshman, Sophomore, etc.)?
Resumes and cover letters should be written and reviewed before starting the actual job search and application process. Several drafts may be needed before documents are ready to use. Our goal is to return resumes and cover letters within two business days so students do not have to make an appointment with a Career Cluster Advisor. At certain times of the year, it may take a day or two longer to get documents critiqued. Please allow us two business days to look over your documents. Start the process early!
The Walk-in Advising Hours are intended for quick questions, such as a second resume/cover letter critique or Lightning JobSource or Focus account inquiries.
