Welcome Students!
Our overarching mission in Career Services is to help guide
students in their realization and pursuit of God’s calling
for their lives and we look forward to assisting you in this
exciting process. Tangibly, this means working through our
Four-Year Process where we encourage you to
assess yourself,
explore your career options,
decide upon a career path and
pursue a job. We offer many services and resources that
are itemized below to assist you in this career development
process. We hope you will take advantage of them during your
years here at Grove City College!

topics including your major, career options associated with
your major, interviewing advice, resume and cover letter

CSO. We provide
students the opportunity to take four free assessments
through the web resource, MyPlan, as well as the Myers-Briggs Type
Indicator (MBTI) and the Strong Interest Inventory (SII) for
a nominal fee per assessment. These assessments
provide feedback on career options that may be a fit given
one's personality (MBTI) and/or interests (SII). Career
counselors are available to help students interpret
assessment results and connect those results to potential
career paths.

Each year, many organizations visit campus and interview
students in the CSO for full-time jobs and internships, as

events, Unique Careers in Education Expo, Resume Writing
Seminars, alumni mock interviews, to name a few.
Mock Interviews
Students can schedule a time to conduct a mock interview

constructive feedback in order to prepare for internship and
full-time job interviews. |
