Office of Career Development

The Career Development Office is located in lower Rinker Center Suite 102. It offers resources to help students identify academic programs and formulate career plans. The Career Development Office is equipped to help students identify goals and obtain relevant employment by offering the following services:

Online Career Assessments: Students interested in doing career assessments can now access the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Strong Interest Inventory online at the career services website: http://www.roberts.myplan.com. Students would then need to make an appointment with career services to review their results.
Individual Career Advisement: Individual appointments may be made with the director of career services to discuss issues and concerns
Résumé/Cover Letter Review: Individual appointments may be made with the director to review résumés and cover letters written in preparation for job hunting
Workshops: Throughout the year, special training sessions are provided to help students write their résumés and cover letters, be effective in interviews, and prepare for career days
Career Development Website: Students can access the career development website at www.roberts.edu/careerdevelopment that includes resources for job searching and links to our job and internship listings. All postings are available on our Handshake platform https://Roberts.joinhandshake.com and students can sign on using their Roberts/Northeastern email and password.
Career Shadowing: Arrangements may be made for students to shadow career professionals for a day
Career Networking/Informational Interviewing: Students are encouraged to build their professional network. One way of doing that is by conducting informational interviews with alumni/professionals in their desired field. Career services can provide assistance in connecting students to alumni as well as sample informational interview questions.
