A few things about us...


As the first blog post, let me take the opportunity to introduce BYU Career Services, aka University Career Services (UCS). Located in 2410 of the Wilkinson Center, students and alumni come to BYU Career Services for resources to search and prepare for their career. Let's talk about some of the services UCS provides for you.
 
Career Counselors. University Career Services has seven expert career counselors willing and ready to help students. They offer one-on-one help with resumes, letter writing, interviewing skills, networking, job searching, and general career information. They can point you to tools and resources, not only in our office but also online and on and off campus to help you prepare for your career.  Each counselor is well-connected to companies and professionals across the nation, making them excellent resources for identifying contacts.  To find out who your counselor is or to schedule an appointment, come to our office in 2410 WSC or call 801-422-6535.
