Career Services (CS) offers UH Manoa students and alumni assistance in exploring and making effective career and educational choices. With this in mind, CS provides a variety of services and programs that are offered year-round. They are:

Career Counseling

Career counseling with a career counselor may be arranged to review goals, plans, qualifications, career alternatives, the job market, employer information, education requirements, and other career concerns.
Job-Search Skills

Workshops and videotapes introduce students to resume design, letters of application and other correspondence, and interview techniques. Workshop schedules are posted on the CS website and at the CS office, where registrants may register to participate. Students and alumni may submit their resumes for reviews by the CS staff.

Career Services Library

Researching an employer’s organization is essential in a career search. The CS library provides employer recruitment literature, employer directories, annual reports, and other publications on job market conditions and trends, employer expectations, and salaries. Also available are employment vacancy listings from local, national, and international businesses and organizations. The CS library also includes a computer laboratory where users may work on their resumes, and other career related documents or connect to the Internet for information on employers and jobs.

Employment Opportunities

Students and alumni may also interview with local, Continental U.S., and overseas employers who visit the campus. Information on employer recruitment activities may be obtained at the CS library or on the CS website. Interview schedules are also posted on campus bulletin boards.

Other Services

Special career programs, including career fairs, law schools fair, panels with employer representatives and outreach presentations to student organizations and classes are available throughout the year.
Credential files (letters of recommendation) may be established to assist in graduate school applications or academic employment. Credentials will be mailed directly to an organization or institution upon request.
Practice interview sessions may be arranged to prepare for an actual interview. Participants may choose to have the interview sessions videotaped. After the session, counselors provide interviewees with feedback on their interview performance.
