Cornell career services career readiness cog

No matter what your career plans are or where you are in your career development, there’s something on this site for you. Across the campus career network known as Cornell Career Services, we help students through the career-development process: understanding your strengths, interests, and values; exploring the career options ahead of you; and taking action through developing job-search skills, and applying to graduate and professional school.

Career offices in the undergraduate colleges provide services tailored to the academic and career goals of students in the colleges. In Barnes Hall we offer career counseling and programs open to undergraduates as well as most graduate students to complement those in the college offices. There are times when a student’s circumstances, career goals, educational level, or identity will affect their progress through the career-development process. Cornell Career Services offers specialized services to support these students as they pursue career options that fit their needs.
