I'm a new grad still looking for a job. Can I use Career Services?

Yes. Recent graduates seeking a first post-graduation job or exploring continuing education are welcome to use our job & internship search guide and planning for graduate or professional school, and advising, just as you did as a student.

Can you review my resume?

Yes; via walk-in advising or an appointment.

Can I attend workshops?

Recent grads who are still in Blacksburg should feel free to look at the events calendar, see the details for each event (note if registration is required, or if there are any limits on attendance), and attend open workshops or seminars of interest.

I've graduated. Can I attend a career fair?

If you are a recent graduate, please see the career fairs list to find and check the web site for the specific event you want to attend. Determine if the employers attending match your career interests and qualifications, and determine if the event sponsor has placed any restrictions on who may attend. You might need to contact the event sponsor to ask.

On-campus fairs are usually for current students, while fairs sponsored by Alumni Association Chapters (such as the annual fair held since 1992 by the National Capital Region chapter) may offer more opportunites suited for both alumni and current students.

If you are a past graduate with career experience, before you undertake the time and expense of travelling to campus, we advise you to directly contact attending employers to determine if they would be open to speaking with you at a career fair, or if it would be a better use of your time to arrange to meet with a different person and at the employment location. Often, campus recruiters are not the staff who are involved in hiring of experienced personnel.

I am not a recent graduate, and am in a job search. Can I get advising through Career Services?

We are not in a good position to effectively serve job seekers who have extensive experience or who are not recent graduates (up to two years after graduation). If you wish to have a conversation with a career advisor to help steer you toward appropriate resources or to receive guidance on how to use the online research and job search tools we provide, we are able to have that conversation with you. Please be aware that we are unable to provide extensive one-on-one counseling, and we are unable to "place" individuals into positions.

As of fall 2010, the Virginia Tech Alumni Association has expanded its career-related services for alumni, and has a staff member acting as director of the alumni career resources program. You can find resources and contact information in the Virginia Tech Alumni Association Alumni Career Resources Program.
