Serviced out of Denton, Career Services has shared its numerous resources, and hosts a significant presence here at the Houston site.  Nested in the Office of Student Life (Room # 2300) are a variety of materials that are waiting for you to fulfill their purpose in life.  Books are available to borrow on topics ranging from cover letters to resume writing; from interview skills to job source reference books; from job-hunting techniques to networking.  Additionally, cassette tapes on strategies to be more effective in living can be checked out the same way - with a picture ID.  Free copies of Job Search Guides can be obtained through individual academic departments as well as the Student Life Office.  A wire stand displays example resumes, cover letters, action verb lists, writing and networking tips which are additionally available for the taking.

Placed in notebooks in the Student Life Office are weekly updates of position openings from the Denton site.  Student Life also acts as the conduit for agencies outside of TWU to contact for new listings, and within 24 hours after the communication, those job descriptions are placed in the notebooks.  Individual academic departments frequently post job announcements on their individual web sites, and it is not unusual to see postings on academic specific bulletin boards.

Career Days (orchestrated out of the Denton Career Services Office) are sponsored annually at the Houston site, showcasing anywhere from thirty to fifty healthcare employers who are anxious to meet with TWU students and discuss employment opportunities.  This year, the Nursing Career Day will be held on Monday, October 1st, 2007 from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.; and the Health Career Day for Spring will be held Monday, February 4th, 2008 from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.  For the first time, a Physical Therapy Career Day has been scheduled for Monday, July 28th, 2008.  We are excited about the promising futures of our TWU ~ Houston graduates!

For additional information regarding Job Search Assistance, please refer to the Career Services web site, or call the Career Services Department on the Denton campus directly at (940) 898-2950.
