Career Services for Students

College of Engineering and Physical Sciences

The University of Wyoming College of Engineering and Physical Sciences Susan McCormack Center for Student Success Career Services Office is here to help students connect with employers that are or potentially seeking qualified candidates. We participate in job fairs throughout the academic year like the BIG Job Fair (held once in the fall and once in the spring), and the STEM Job Fair (held once in the fall and once in the spring). In addition, we provide services directly to students such as resume reviews, mock interviews, job and internship searching assistance, and much more, to help students navigate the stressful experience of finding a job/career! We have also partnered with many companies and developed programs to simplify a student's journey through college and prepare them for their career or graduate school after college.

CEPS CAREER SUCCESS PLAN

There are certain steps that you, as college students, should take to help you explore various career options and move forward with them.
Just like a final exam, your job and/or internship search or program selection is not something you should ‘cram’ for at the last minute.
It takes time, reflection, and different experiences that will help you define what you’d like to do.

Start exploring and learning as early as your first year. We are confident that you will be more prepared to find a career that suits your passions,values, interests, and goals.

HANDSHAKE FOR JOBS AND EVENTS

As Handshake should not be the only website you use for job searching, it is a great first start! Handshake is also a useful tool for finding out what events are happening virtually as well as around UW.

Master's and Ph.D. Students

Meet with a Career Services Professional to talk about your goals and experience. Our CEPS Career Services staff can help you format research experience, projects, publications and any other items that you may want to include on your resume or CV.

Tailor your job search for positions that you are interested in and qualified for. This may look slightly different for master's students looking to get involved in research!
