Career Services

Career Assistance
Professional counselors provide career assistance; job-search advice; and critiques of resumes and cover letters.  In some cases, alumni may wish to return to school and pursue careers in medicine, law, or other graduate studies.  Our counselors can help you prepare for these transitions. To schedule an appointment, call (607) 255-2988.

Cornell Careers Services also provides many valuable resources to alumni from all colleges.  Alumni may request career assistance, network with fellow alumni, provide career-related opportunities to current students, or hire experienced Cornellians.
