Director's Message
Dear Faculty & Staff,
Welcome to the Career Development Office. We have extensive resources and
services that you can use when advising your students or for your alumni and
employer contacts. Please review our CDO
Services to learn about the various ways we can help students from their
first days at Pomona College through graduation and beyond.
The CDO staff can help students who are considering which major to pursue,
review internship opportunities, make
informed career decisions and plan for pursuits in
graduate study. In the spirit of the liberal
arts we encourage students to not ‘link’ major pursuits with career pursuits.
Rather we assist a student with major decision making as a separate process by
helping them consider the major that matches their passions. Career pursuits can
flow naturally from internships and other extracurricular activities. Hence the
physics major who manages his/her own company and the English major who becomes
an investment banker.
If you are advising a student and would like to refer the student to career,
internship, or graduate school resources please have them visit one of the
nation’s largest, most comprehensive and currently updated career resource
libraries. The CDO Career Resource Library holds
over 2,000 pieces in its collection. Students (and faculty) can check books out
overnight or over the weekend. To view the library online please
contact the CDO for the
password. In addition to the library collection, the CDO also offers an
extensive listing of web links on the CDO Site-ings
section of the CDO Web. This online section requires the same password as the
CDO Resource Library.
If you are meeting with a student who needs assistance preparing a
CV or resume or help with
interviewing for graduate school, a job
or internship we provide critiques and assistance. Students may set an
individual appointment or come in for our walk-in advising service available
Monday through Friday.
As you know, many Pomona College students go onto graduate school at some point
in their career. We have many resources to assist them. The CDO Resource
Library, CDO-Site-ings, as well as workshops and panels on the application
process, the personal statement and exam preparation are available to supplement
the program information that faculty provide. The CDO’s partnership with
Princeton Review includes discounts for prep classes taken in the Los Angeles
region.
If you have or come across job listings that you would like to share with alumni
of Pomona College we have developed a free, web-based
alumni job connection database that alumni
and faculty can access to post and review listings.
Our calendar of events outlines the various
workshops, programs, alumni panels, career fair, employer presentations, and
discussions that students can attend.
I invite you to stop by the CDO and talk with me about our services or browse
through our library of resources. I also encourage you to visit the various
areas within the CDO Web. Please let me know if you would like to have a
presentation of major, career, or resource options provided to your class. We
are happy to come to you or to have your class join us in the office. Faculty
members who have made this request have found it to be very beneficial for their
students.
The professional staff members of the CDO are always just an email or phone call
away. We look forward to partnering with you as a resource in developing the
futures of our students.
Regards,
Carl Martellino
Director
