Career Development Center (CDC)
The career process is a journey of self-discovery. The CDC fosters active and open-minded collaboration with students during the process. In this supportive environment, GSIS students learn to identify their goals and interests, to manage a complex process, and to make sound and informed decisions about internship and full-time job.
It's important to note that each student should control the self-assessment, research, application writing, interview and final decision after job offer. We will help you focus and apply your initiative and energy to take ownership of your career and professional development.
GSIS students are encouraged to read the CDC guidebook and to use it as a reference throughout the career process. The CDC Guidebook is the user manual to help GSIS students navigate the journey, a comprehensive resource providing key information at various stages of the career cycle including resume writing and interview preparation.
