Career Center
The Career Center offers services
to help students prepare for their careers. The staff assists students with career counseling and editing assistance
for all job search documents. In-depth information is available,
including webinars and podcasts, on the Career Center’s website. The Career Center provides pre-employment
preparation assistance through mock interviews and a variety of seminars on
such topics as resume writing, business letter writing, identifying marketable
skills, interviewing skills, and conducting an effective job search. The Career Center offers a credential file
service to assist PhD students applying for academic positions after
graduation.
Representatives of business,
government, industry, education, and social agencies recruit UT Dallas students
and alumni at career expos and on‑campus
interviews. The Career Center manages the Internship/Cooperative
Education program for all majors, except EE/CS majors. On-campus
employment is also managed by the Career Center, with the exception of TA and
RA positions.
Part-time jobs, both on-campus
and off-campus, full-time jobs, and on-campus interview schedules are posted
through an online database called UTD CareerWorks. All students register for UTD CareerWorks
by accessing the Career Center website. Students upload a résumé into the
system in order to apply for qualified positions or to make it available for
employer referrals. Employers may have access to candidate résumés via various
web résumé books set up in the UTD CareerWorks system.
