Career Services – Frequently Asked Questions
Brooks Institute’s Career Services department is committed to providing students and alumni with career services and guidance not just while they’re in school or right after graduation but after graduation. Listed on this page are a few of the most commonly asked questions about the services we offer.
What kind of assistance can you provide me in my job search?
Students should meet with a Career Services Advisor to discuss job search strategies and create a plan throughout their time at Brooks. Career Services leads a graduation preparation seminar call Senior Seminar. All students in our bachelor’s degree programs are required to attend. The seminar helps prepare students for the job search by focusing on marketing materials, interview skills, goal setting, resources, and strategies. Graduates are assigned a Career Services Advisor once they complete their program to assist them with their next steps. We are here to help you succeed!
