# Develop, Empower & Support: Career Services

The
[Career Services Department](https://www.arizonacollege.edu/about-arizona-college/career-services/)
at Arizona College is responsible for multiple processes throughout a student’s
educational journey.  Representatives work with students during the entire
length of their program; beginning with their first session, the externship
process, graduation, and even provide employment assistance for graduates and
alumni.  Have you met your Career Services Coordinator yet?  It’s best to have
regular meetings and to keep in contact, giving you a great resource for many of
the questions you may have about starting your career.

What valuable services do Career Services provide for students?

- **Resume Development **– Did you know the average employer initially spends
  less than 30 seconds reviewing your resume? Career Services reviews student
  resumes and makes suggestions on how to present a polished, well-rounded
  resume that employers will notice.
- **Mock Interviews **– Interviewing is a skill you can learn and Career
  Services conducts mock interviews with all students. With the right tips,
  techniques and guidance, students gain the confidence to feel empowered
  resulting in a great interview.
- **Externship Orientation **– Putting into practice the knowledge and skills
  you have learned during your training is so exciting.  The Career Services
  Department conducts an Externship Orientation to advise students how to make
  the most out of externship and what is required to complete externship
  successfully. Externship is a valuable career learning experience, as it’s an
  opportunity for students to see first-hand what the day-to-day work activities
  are in the professional medical setting.  Let Career Services maximize this
  experience!
- **Externship Coordination **– Students are assigned an externship site to
  complete the final session of their healthcare degree program (for those
  programs that require externship experience). Career Services can help you
  successfully coordinate this process.
- **Job Placement Assistance **– Career Services assists all graduates and
  alumni in securing employment. They are in contact with our employment
  partners and find out firsthand about potential openings for jobs.  Job
  placement assistance is also offered as service to all Arizona College
  graduates.
- **Job Fairs/Career Seminars **– Attending a job fair is a perfect opportunity
  to speak with and ask questions directly to the representatives of a
  particular company of interest. Attending a Career Fair is a great way to
  sharpen and showcase your skills.  Networking and meeting other like-minded
  professionals in your field of study is a great way to make connections that
  can last a lifetime.

The Career Services Department works to develop, empower, and support Arizona
College students and graduates.  If you are a student, it is important to meet
your Career Services Coordinator early on.  If you are a graduate, make sure
they have your updated contact information, such as mailing address, email
address, and phone number. Together, let’s find the healthcare career you’ve
been dreaming of!
