We provide the following services to WSU students (and recent alumni) free of charge:

Need help exploring employment options with your major?  We can help!  Each of our employment advisors has years of experience working with employers in the specific area(s) they advise.  We can help you explore options, identify your marketable skills, and focus your job search based upon your work values.

Need to fine-tune your resume?  We can help!  Our Resume Guide will help you get started.  Once you have created a basic resume, be sure to schedule an appointment through Handshake to have it reviewed by your employment advisor.  They will give you suggestions for effectively focusing your resume and making it stand out in a professional setting. 

Nervous about an interview that is coming up?  We can help?  We will conduct a short (~20 min) practice (more “mock”) interview with you and provide specific suggestions for how you can be at your best.  After scheduling your interview appointment through Wildcat Handshake, be sure to arrive on time, dress professionally, and treat your practice interview like it is the real thing.  As a courtesy, we can record your interview so you can watch it later (or show it to family and friends). 

Don’t have time for a practice interview?  Review our short Interview Guide which will help you master the basics.
