TECH STUDENTS - We are here for you!
Worried about your career or access to employment opportunities? Although the method
of delivery might have changed, the Center for Career Development is still offering
most services such as personal appointments, resume critiques, job search advice,
cooperative education, interview and job search software and of course Handshake is
always open 24/7/365. Look over the categories below and visit the area of your choice
for more details. Also, be on the lookout for our new Ask the Director Series via Zoom!!
Ask the Director dates:
Students: Tech students wanting to make an appointment for career-related issues can still make appointments through the Handshake system as normal by visiting the link provided below. For the immediate future, appointments will be conducted over the phone or via Zoom communication.
For simple resume critiques you can email your resume to career@tntech.edu. We can usually have the resume back to you in less than 24 hours from submission.
Handshake: Tech students using Handshake to find employment opportunities should see little to no difference while we are on the modified delivery model. Employers will still place jobs and be able to search resumes. Likewise students will still be able to apply for jobs as usual.
Employers: Employers wanting to place jobs with Tech can still utilize the Handshake system as always. Other employer requests can still be done via phone or email. Employers needing assistance with interviewing Tech students should call us for more specific instructions concerning date, time, and method. Employers with ongoing recruiting/interviewing efforts with Tech students should proceed as you normally would.
Career Readiness Programs: All in person Career Readiness Programs scheduled for Spring 2020 are now cancelled. The Center for Career Development has made it possible to complete already started Career Readiness Certifications by clicking on the link below and following the instructions.
Cooperative Education: All questions concerning your status as a participating co-op student can be answered by emailing Sonja Higgenbotham at shiggenbotham@tntech.edu.
If you have any further questions, call our office at 931-372-3232 or email career@tntech.edu.
