Services

Career Advisement

Our office provides professional career advisement to current UNM students as well as UNM alumni and community members. Career Development Facilitators (CDFs) are available through appointments or walk-ins to assist students with choosing or changing their major, assessing abilities, interests and values, clarifying career goals, writing a resume or cover letter, preparing for interviews, conducting a job search or preparing to attend graduate school.

Career Fairs

We organize and host several career and information events each semester providing UNM students and alumni with the opportunity to network with employers/recruiters, to learn more about a variety of occupations, and to find employment. Our main career events each academic year are: the Career Expo (February), the Educators' Job fair (April), the Graduate and Professional School Fair (September), the Hispanic Engineering and Science Organization (HESO) Career Fair (October), and the Public Service Career Showcase (November).

Career Resource Lab

Visit our comprehensive, state of the art electronic resource lab, also known as the Cyber Cafe, with 12 brand new computer workstations, designed to support all facets of your career development and job search needs. In addition, we provide complementary coffee for current UNM students registered with our office.

Cooperative Education

The University of New Mexico Cooperative Education Program, or what is commonly referred to as "Co-op", provides students with a unique opportunity to combine real work experience with their academic studies. Co-op students work as paid professionals in various positions that are degree related. This professional experience will be reflected on the student's academic transcript giving him/her a competitive advantage in the job-search process.

Job/Internship Listings

Registered students have access to Lobo Career Connection connecting them with hundreds of job/internship postings, actual employer contacts, and career/industry profiles nation-wide.

On-Campus Recruiting

Our office provides students and employers an opportunity to meet face-to-face. This time-saving, cost-effective service allows students to have their resumes screened by employers and be selected to interview on campus for employers' job opportunities. Students must be registered with our office in order to participate in the on-campus recruiting program.

Workshop Series

We host multiple workshops each semester focusing on topics such as resume writing, working a career fair, dining etiquette, interviewing, and many more. Furthermore, our CDFs provide tailored presentations for many student organizations, and undergraduate and graduate classes upon request.
