Career Services

Located on the first floor of the Stevens Center-Newberg campus, this office is the center for career counseling, career information/education, employment services, internship assistance, and graduate school admission preparation.  Students can receive guidance as they discover their vocational calling, choose a major, explore occupational options, select an internship, find professional employment, or plan to attend graduate school. A self-managed career planning process is recommended for each student using the Emerging Professional 4-year plan.

Programming and resources include three online career classes (for undergraduate students), valuable workshops, career assessment with consultation, internship guidance, online internship center, special events, job-search skills training (cover letter, resumé, interviewing, portfolio, job search strategy), recruiter interview schedules and networking with alumni. Also available is a resource center with a variety of current career information and our website at http://www.careers.georgefox.edu . Permanent, seasonal, student employment, volunteer and internship jobs are posted electronically on BruinCareers in MyGFU.
