Welcome to UCSB's Career Services
A Letter from Micael Kemp, Director of Career Services
 We believe that we can be helpful from the first day
your student arrives at UCSB until graduation. We
work with undergraduates, transfer students, graduate
students and alumni. We offer workshops, drop-ins,
and individual counseling appointments to help your
student choose a major, find a part time job, get
an internship, write a resume, apply to graduate
school, or find their first job. UCSB will offer
your student a world-class education. Career Services
can help them put that education to work.
With the support of family, and help
from Career Services, your student will have all
the tools she or he needs
to start a successful career. Whether your student
defines success as working towards management in a
multi-national company, teaching K-12 students in an
inner city school, pursuing a graduate degree, or contributing
to research in the latest bio-tech innovations, together
we can help her or him to make those dreams a reality.
Here
are just a few ways we help students:
-
-
Is your student anxious
about choosing a career?
Our Career
Assessment Program will provide a number of tests that will generate
lists of career options to explore.
-
Does your
student lack knowledge about what careers entail?
Refer to our Career
Resource Room which
houses publications on more than 350 careers; more
than
2,000 professional/graduate school catalogs,
and helpful staff to assist in students’ exploration.
-
Is
your student inexperienced in the world of work?
Suggest internships and other career-related
practical experience. Usually students are ready
for internships
by their Junior year, though some might start
as early
as Spring or Summer quarter of their Sophomore
year.
-
Does you student need help finding
a job? Send him or her to GauchoLink. We post on
average 50 jobs
per day, including many local, part time jobs
as well as full time jobs for graduating students.
They
can
also attend our Graduate
School and Career Fairs.
-
Please encourage your
student to come visit us early and often.
We have a wealth of assets to
offer. It is a great pleasure for both
me and my staff to work with
these bright young students. We love their enthusiasm and optimism
and share with you the heartfelt belief in their
potential.
It is truly an honor to
work with them.
Lastly, please sign up for our parent
newsletter, Career Alliance, and stay up-to-date on
Career Services happenings!
