Career Design Information for Alumni
The Career Design Center is committed to supporting Geneseo alumni with their career needs. We offer a variety of resources for every stage in your career. For a comprehensive list of alumni information please visit the alumni website..
Services for Alumni Who Graduated Less than Two Years Ago
Career coaching is available throughout the year to alumni less than two years from their commencement date. If you are interested in meeting with a career coach, please email careers@geneseo.edu. Virtual and in-person support includes:
- Career design coaching
- Job search strategy
- Resume and cover letter review
- Networking assistance
- Interview preparation and practice
- Graduate school coaching
- First Destination Survey
-
Please take a few minutes and share your post graduation plans by completing this brief survey. Every year, the Career Design Center asks the graduating class what they're doing after graduation: whether they are working, going to graduate school, or pursuing other interests. This survey takes no more than five minutes and your answers will remain confidential. By completing this survey, you will help other students learn about "what's next" after graduation, and your feedback will help us more effectively meet students' needs in the future.
