Gordon Career Center at Wesleyan University

Gordon Career Center at Wesleyan University The official page of the Gordon Career Center at Wesleyan University.

Whether you are a first-year student, sophomore, junior, or senior -- focused or unfocused – it is never too early, or too late, to begin planning for your first job and eventual career direction after college. Individual career advisement appointments, workshops, and programs offered by the Career Center are a great way to help you make informed decisions regarding internships, graduate or profes

sional school, and your transition after college into the work world. Keep in mind that there is not necessarily one "right" or "perfect" career choice for you. Many people could be successful and satisfied in more than one field, industry, or profession.
