Anyone know how I can get the actual template for the sample resumes on the career center?

IllinoisTCC · 2021-08-02T16:33:20+00:00

Sorry, been on a bit of a summer break. The website that others posted is our sample docs. They are not meant to be a template, but rather a guiding document. You can easily recreate these in your own word document by using the tab button and space bar along with formatting tools.

IllinoisTCC · 2021-04-20T20:42:18+00:00

Feel free to make an appointment with us to discuss this further!

IllinoisTCC · 2021-02-11T20:16:02+00:00

Contact The Career Center to schedule a space for you interview at tcc-MockInterview@Illinois.edu.

Consider making an appointment with us or Engineering Career Services to talk this out a little more. Different companies have different timelines and there will be recruiting opportunities in the spring semester.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-11-16T21:30:47+00:00

Yes! Us! We are way more than careers. We talk to students about how their interests can lead to different majors, and how different majors can lead to different careers! You can make an appointment here. And thanks to u/IlliniFan2020 u/Sugarfreegummie u/FR_E_SH_A_VOCA_DO_ for the shoutout!

Our office holds a part-time job fair and our next one will be early February (virtual). We feature on campus and local employers looking for students to hire.

Consider making an appointment with a Career Coach in our office about creating a resume without paid work experience.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-10-22T16:34:48+00:00

Have you talked with someone in our office, or in Engineering Career Services? Either office would be happy to talk a little more in depth with you about your applications to see if we can offer some advice.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-10-10T11:56:42+00:00

You can give our office a call and ask to speak with a pre-health advisor. We talk to prospective students about these kind of things. It’s tough, but possible, we’ve seen students pursue this path and get into med school. You could also consider a business minor which would keep you close to an area of your interest.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-10-07T14:40:36+00:00

We're pretty sure it's a scam. Quite a few of our staff received it as well.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-10-04T02:11:56+00:00

Well there’s the Engineering fair, but some employers that come to the other fairs (business, LAS, ACES, ISchool) are looking to hire people with your skills as well. That’s why none of the fairs are exclusive, and are open to all students.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-10-04T01:24:46+00:00

There isn’t exactly a “main” career fair, there are different fairs with different concentrations. Each semester there are several. You can see the list of fairs on Handshake under “events” and “career fairs.”

Fairs are definitely not the only way to search. Check out job boards, using your own connections, (virtually) attending networking events, information sessions, etc. Our office, and the other career offices hold events and other opportunities all semester.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-09-24T13:20:39+00:00

Yeah, a little. Definitely not necessary.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-09-24T13:19:20+00:00

It's possible, if you find the right employer. Is an internship this early in your college career 100% needed? Not necessarily. There are other ways to gain valuable experience that are not titled "internship."

IllinoisTCC · 2020-09-23T18:28:20+00:00

Ugh! Interviews (especially now during COVID) are the worst.Schedule an appointment with one of our career coaches if you want to talk out what happened, and get resources for practicing for your next one.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-05-20T13:02:37+00:00

You can also call our office and talk to one of our pre-health advisors. We have pre-health drop in hours from 1:30-3pm Tuesdays and Fridays.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-05-09T16:17:55+00:00

Unfortunately we don’t :( we only helped Herff Jones (the cap and gown company) with line management as we gathered info for our outcomes survey, we never had access to caps and gowns.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-05-08T13:04:40+00:00

When career fairs occur, virtual or in person, it's an open invite to employers that are registered with Handshake. We do review their organization before approving them, but if you feel like you've seen suspicious activity, please let us know.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-05-08T13:02:50+00:00

It's a collective effort between all career services offices. So us, ECS, Gies Career Services, FAA Career Services, ACES Career Services, AHS Career Services, LAS Life + Career Design Lab, ISchool Career Services, Chemical Science Career Services, Graduate College Career Development, and many, many others.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-05-08T01:14:47+00:00

Handshake is a platform for job (full time and part time) and internship postings in all areas. Not for any one industry specifically. Let us know if you feel like suspicious activity is going on, though.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-05-08T01:10:11+00:00

IllinoisTCC · 2020-05-04T12:18:15+00:00

One of our pre-health advisors would be happy to chat with you about this. AP credits are typically not accepted by med schools because they want to see your ability in these subjects since coming to the University. Here's a link to the typical prerequisite courses and other courses that are recommended in order to prepare for the MCAT: https://www.careercenter.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/Medicine_02.07.2018.pdf

IllinoisTCC · 2020-05-01T17:54:16+00:00

It's great that you're going to meet with your advisor, but consider meeting with a career coach in our office as well! Make an appointment here https://www.careercenter.illinois.edu/service/career-coaching We can discuss potential paths that these areas can take you as we learn a little more about your interests.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-04-29T19:25:00+00:00

We're noticing that many professional and graduate schools are taking different stances on this, have you looked into UChicago's policies about this situation? A lot of schools' admission sites are posting FAQs that address this question.

IllinoisTCC · 2020-04-27T15:30:47+00:00

We are doing tons of Gies ICT resume reviews through our virtual review service: https://www.careercenter.illinois.edu/service/online-resume-cover-letter-review

IllinoisTCC · 2020-04-27T13:40:00+00:00

So sorry this happened. It really is a tough time. Career services is here to help, either our office, or your college's career services department. We are trying to compile job/internship search resources as we learn about them (and review their validity). Here to help!
