Career Services @ D&E

Students at Davis & Elkins can begin exploration or clarification of career direction and goals immediately upon arriving on campus. Career clarification usually begins with a one-on-one appointment with our career advisor and the completion of one or more surveys may follow in order to assist students with the examination of career direction.

Following conversations may include but are not limited to a choice of major and/or minor field of study, exploration of a possible internship, the development of job search strategies (including effectively searching for summer or seasonal jobs), resume and cover letter development, and graduate school identification and application.

Specific assistance available in the Office of Career Services includes but is not limited to:

• Interest exploration to discover academic and career options
• Research to clarify optional directions within a chosen career
• Measurement of personal preferences
• Development of career search strategies
• Design and production of professional, powerful resumes
• Creation of clearly written and effective cover letters
• Strengthening/polishing of interviewing skills/techniques
• Development of a professional credential file
