Alumni and Professional Career Panel

One of the best ways for students to learn what a job is really like (the good, the bad, and the ugly) is to speak with someone who works in that job everyday. Fortunately, several UE alumni have volunteered to share their professional career path and experiences with current students. Partners in the Evansville Experience (PIEE) offers opportunities for alumni, employers, parents and friends of the University to become involved. If you or your students are interested in coordinating a career professional panel, please contact PIEE via email!

Major Exploration: TruTalent Personality

TruTalent Personality is an on-line assessment tool that will help your organization explore major and career options.

Developing a Dynamic Resume

Writing a solid professional resume is a process. In order to help students get started, we have a workshop that will cover the important issues related to resume development such as content and format. Have students come prepared to leave with ideas on how to get started preparing and/or revising your resume.

Job Search Process: What is the First Step in Finding a Job?

Beginning a full- or internship job search can be overwhelming especially when students are not sure where to begin. We can help students negotiate through the ambiguity and develop a personalized and effective job search strategy with their success in mind.

The FOUR Things All Top Candidates Have In Common

Do your students ever wonder what employers and graduate schools are looking for in potential candidates? This workshop is designed to provide students with the necessary information and insight to help them answer that question and get them on the right track to make the most out of their experience at UE.

How to Market Your International Experience

At UE, a majority of students have rated their Study Abroad experience as the highlight of their college career; have your students take advantage of that enthusiasm by incorporating it into their job search. We will help students identify the skills and abilities developed while studying abroad, where they should include it on your resume and how they can communicate this experience to employers.

The Internship Process: Benefits and How To Get One

Internships and co-ops, otherwise known as experiential education, are a window into the world of professional work, the chance to take a risk-free career test drive, and an opportunity to explore your career choices. At the University of Evansville, Experiential Education opportunities abound. Like any employment activity, it takes planning, professionalism and a significant amount of effort to secure the right experience. This workshop will help students learn how to get started!

Managing your professional image and representing yourself as a well-rounded candidate is critical during and after the job search process. This workshop will cover the do's and don'ts of American business etiquette and correspondence.

Is Graduate School Right For You?

Graduate School is a career choice, not a career deferment. This workshop will cover the importance of defining professional career goals, speaking with faculty members, and exploring graduate school programs. We are happy to assist each student in developing a personalized plan for a successful graduate school decision-making and application process.

Successful Interviewing 101

Interviewing for any kind of a professional position requires preparation. During this workshop, we will break down the interview into several key components such as company research, scrutinizing a position description, anticipating and preparing effective answers, and preparing questions to ask the company.
