The Career Development Program provides personalized assistance to student-athletes throughout their four years at St. John's University. By attending workshops and one-on-one meetings with a Career Counselor assigned solely to student-athletes, our student-athletes gain the skills necessary to make appropriate career decisions whether they are trying to pick a major or evaluate various job offers upon graduation. Student-athletes learn the important skills necessary to succeed in today's competitive job market including creating a game plan for reaching career goals, writing an effective resume and cover letter, and making a positive impression on potential employers when networking and interviewing. Resume WeekIn collaboration with Career Services, every fall there is a Resume Week. Student-athletes can sign up for a one-on-one session with a Career Services advisor to discuss their resume. This is a great opportunity to improve their resume and prepare for the Student-Athlete Resume Book at the Student-Athlete Career Night. Career Development Month - January January is Career Development Month. During this month, Career Services holds workshops for student-athletes in which they work on resume development, LinkedIn/Handshake tutorials, interview preparation and “tell me about yourself”. Each team is given a session to work on these skills. Student-Athlete Career Night In the spring semester, Student-Athlete Career Night invites over 20 companies to attend. These companies have included STARR, a St. John’s partner. Various St. John’s alumni attend, including former student-athletes. For this event, hundreds of St. John’s student-athletes could speak with dozens of representatives of prospective employers; take advantage of the head shots available; and be featured in the Student-Athlete Resume Book.    |
