Career Centers

Career Center services are available at each campus location. Students can meet with a career advisor to discuss their major and career options, polish their resume and cover letter, and create a LinkedIn profile to search for jobs and internships. The Career Centers offer online career assessment inventories for students to become self-aware about their interests, values and skills and learn how they relate to majors and occupations.

Meet with a career advisor to facilitate your career advising needs or schedule an appointment online. We encourage all PBSC students and recent alumni to upload their resumes into the College Central Network online job portal where employers can search student resumes for their hiring needs. In College Central Network, students can view and apply to job and internship openings, RSVP to attend career fairs, special events and workshops, and connect with career mentors through the portal.

The Career Centers offer workshops on resume writing, mock interviews, job search strategies, professionalism in the workplace, and career and internship fairs, along with industry career panels and other career events. We encourage students to explore our webpage and make the best use of online career planning tools.
