Illinois State University

You can be certain of what you want to do, unsure of where to begin, or wish to take a completely different path. The university is here to assist you every step of the way.

From the beginning or anytime you need us throughout your career, use the university as a resource. The university helps students in certain sectors, like:

• Choosing a major: More than 160 academic programmes are offered at Illinois State. There are a lot of options there, which can be confusing. The university will help you focus your search and identify a course of study that motivates you to show up for class.
• Understanding the career options: Some degrees are rather simple, while others provide many chances that you might not even be aware of. Meet with the university authority to learn about all the alternatives and opportunities available to you once you acquire a degree.
• Getting experience: You need the experience to land a job. We are knowledgeable on how to locate employment and internships. The governing body can also advise you on how to convert your experiences in the classroom and in student organisations into talents that employers are seeking.
• Changing courses: Your life and your adventure are right here. The university can assist you in finding a career that supports the life you want if you don't like the direction your route is taking.
• Preparing for life after completion of the course: You can get all the resources you need at the university to succeed in life after graduation. Make sure your resume is excellent and use us to look for employment openings in your industry.

Things to do for a better opportunity at a career 

• Practice on your own: You can practice your interview techniques using Interviewstream. Practice interviewing, hone your sales pitch, and start to feel confident about your impending interview.
• Book a huddle room: Finding a place on campus where you can study is difficult. To concentrate on getting the task, use one of our huddle rooms. It's excellent for rehearsing or even doing phone interviews. They are free from distractions and have access to phones and computers in full.
• Attend career fairs and events: You'll be a strong prospect for any career you pick if you make the most of these possibilities.
• Search micro-internships: Through the university's partner, Parker Dewey, you can get temporary, paid professional work. You can utilise your abilities while developing new ones thanks to these changes.
