Who Can Use Career Services?
Services are offered to all current URI students and graduate students, as well as URI alumni. All majors and class levels may use services, including freshmen and Alumni (see alumni link at left).
How Can First-Year Students Use Career Services?
First-year students should contact Career Services as soon as possible in their academic careers. Career Advisors will assist students to research and choose a major, find part-time jobs, begin researching potential careers, and completing career self-assessments. In addition, instruction on basic resume writing, cover letters and interview skills are helpful to first-year students.
We recommend all first-year students log into their free, confidential accounts on RhodyNet in order to keep up-to-date with career events and workshops, and to search and apply for part-time jobs, summer jobs and more. Their accounts will continue throughout their academic years at URI, and the more familiarity they obtain with the system, the better the results. If you as a family member would like a guest account, please contact us at career@etal.uri.edu.
