How does the job search for alumni differ from the job search for students?
The job search for both alumni and students is similar in many ways, especially for alumni who have only been out of school one to five years. For those more seasoned alums, there are further things that can be done. However, all job searches contain some important basic elements.
Students are conducting job search because they are just graduating and therefore, don't have to explain why they are looking for a job — including having quit, been laid off, or terminated. Hopefully, students have had an internship or some career-related experience and are competitive in their field of study. They can participate in on-campus interviewing or apply for positions listed on MU Career Manager. So there are some built-in options for students. In addition, they should check the papers, databases, websites, publications, and professional journals for job vacancies. However, since 75% of jobs are attained through networking, a student is wise to network (using his or her own family, friends, acquaintances, professors, etc.)
Career Coaching
More information at transitionwork.com
If your career transition is leading you to consider options in other career fields or to a path different from your past, the Marquette University Career Services Center endorses Transition Work. The Transition Work creative model is designed around career change from the inside out, first defining and expanding who you are and what you want before dredging through the visible job market hoping to snag something worthy of your risk.
Registration for Individual Services requires a free 15-minute phone consultation to establish scope of services and payment agreement. A typical arrangement will include four sessions at $150 each. These will include a comprehensive intake, career and personality assessments, options for achieving goals, individual activities, and follow up visits.
Additional services are available for those desiring more assistance.

Coping with Stress
More information at www.marquette.edu/psyc/about/centerforpsychologicalservices.shtml
Dealing with a job loss can result in difficulties coping with stress surrounding finances, family, home-life, and other stressors. While the Career Services Center can help you with the logistics of conducting a job search, we recommend you visit the Center for Psychological Services for support in coping with stress.
The Center for Psychological Services (CPS) of Marquette University's Department of Psychology is dedicated to providing affordable and effective treatment to the general Marquette community, including its Milwaukee neighborhood. Like the University as a whole, CPS is dedicated to the principle of equal opportunity. CPS is staffed by Clinical psychology faculty and by graduate students, who are closely supervised by faculty.
The fee for services is established during this visit. Fees are determined by ability to pay. This is on a sliding scale that will not exceed $75.00 per session.
