CAFLS Career Services

Services and Resources for CAFLS Students

We offer a variety of services for CAFLS students which we hope you will find both comprehensive and valuable.  Our goals are:

  • to help you explore options and to make career choices that will be satisfying to you;
  • to help you implement your plans once you have identified options;
  • to provide you with valuable job search and career planning skills which will be useful and allow you to be successful throughout your career; and
  • to provide our services in a friendly, helpful manner and to remain responsive to your needs.

Counseling and Advising- Our trained counselors and advisors are available to meet with students on an individual basis to discuss career and job search plans.

Resume Critiques- The goal of your resume is to effectively market yourself to potential employers, and to obtain an interview.  Our staff is available to assist you in developing a resume tailored to our related industries.

Mock Interviews- A great way to improve your interviewing technique is to practice.  Staff members are available to role play the interview process with you and then will provide valuable feedback.  Mock interviews are available for professional and graduate school as well as job related interviews.

Internships- Employers are saying that good grades, summer job experience, and participation in student activities and organizations are not enough to help students land a full-time job.  In today’s competitive job market, students with career related work experience are the students who are getting the best interviews and job offers.

Job Postings- An extensive number of single job vacancies are posted on-line through ClemsonJobLink, in addition to many job postings through our office at employers’ requests.  We also subscribe to many monthly and biweekly job bulletins, some of which also list internships and summer jobs.

On-Campus Recruiting-Approximately 100 employers conduct over 250 interviews with our students in a typical year. There are different possibilities for each major. These interviews include positions for internships, cop-ops and permanent opportunities. Many companies still do not recruit on campus so it is suggested you explore all alternative ways for job searching.

Career Fairs- Our office provides College Career Fairs each semester with companies tailored to CAFLS majors.  Over 50% of the employers that participate are CAFLS Alumni too. 

International Programs- CAFLS is committed to offering students a diverse selection of opportunities and experiences.  We offer numerous study abroad, study trips and international internship experiences.
