Career Services

Start early on your path to career success with the solid foundation you’ll receive at Albertus Magnus.

Visit Career Services starting in your first year of college and continuing throughout your time at Albertus to discover how we can help you develop realistic and flexible career goals that relate to your major and to future occupations. Learn the skills for lifelong career planning.

Career counseling, available one-on-one by appointment with our Director of Career Services, provides information on any career-related issue or topic and helps you develop a plan to achieve your individual career goals. Discover how to create effective résumés that communicate your education, skills and background to a potential employer and prepare for your interview.

Self-assessment tools connect your personality characteristics, interests and values to specific careers. When you know yourself, you build the essential foundation for success and can find career fields with the best fit for you. Assessments include the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® and the Strong Interest Inventory®.

On-campus recruiting events connect you with employers. You can discuss the company and may even interview for open positions. While you’re a current student or after you graduate, you’ll have access to recruiting events, posted weekly through the Jobs Just Inbox service.
