Frequently Asked Questions

The mission of Career Services is to assist Southeastern students and alumni with their career exploration and job search processes by providing a wide array of valuable career counseling and job search assistance services while meeting the hiring needs of employers.

The Center for Student Excellence can help with career exploration and academic advising for students interested in changing their major.

Employers will notify us thirty to sixty days in advance of the date they would like to conduct their interviews. Career Services posts the interview information in Handshake and on the On-Campus Interview Schedule webpage. We also promote interviews via fliers posted around campus, emails to students, and through informing appropriate faculty about the opportunities available.

Career Fair is an annual, university-wide event held each fall semester, featuring over 150 local and national employers seeking to fill available positions within their organization.

Employers use Career Fair as an opportunity to meet many candidates and determine who would be the best fit for future interviews.

For Southeastern students and alumni, Career Fair is an excellent way to network with organizations of interest and learn about other companies that could be viable places of employment.
