What the Career Services Office Can Do
For all of you currently engaged in job hunting, the Career Services Office will serve as your base camp. Please feel free to use it as a place to access career-related information, seek advice, and exchange information with fellow students. Just like Media Forest, it is a place that provides the time, space, and network of people where students can drop by casually to think about their future.

Contact us
The Career Services Office has full-time staff available at all times, as well as specialized counselors who are available on specific days and times. Since they can offer advice based on their own professional backgrounds, it’s a good idea to make an appointment in advance. Talking to and seeking advice from working professionals—who are neither parents nor teachers—is a valuable experience. It can also provide helpful tips for company visits and job interviews. Don’t struggle with your concerns alone; please come in and talk to us.
