The services we offer to students are also extended to our faculty, staff and their immediate families in a professional and confidential manner. Contact the Director, Julie Goley for information on how we can help you and your family with our services.
We are a student's best resource for career exploration, job outlook, salary, and employment trend information. Students use our services to clarify their career plans, to develop essential job-search skills and to seek resources for employment.
We help your students find the right career
We help students determine the right career for their interests, career goals, skills, values, and personality. We help them explore their options and encourage goal setting to correspond with career and academic planning.
We help students connect to employers
We work directly with employers who would like to develop mutually beneficial relationships with faculty. We can facilitate connections with professionals who can provide career development support to students in a particular major or discipline. We can help develop employer internship relationships for your intern program, we can bring employers to your classrooms, and we can provide career spotlights to showcase career options in our majors at Augusta University.
We help students master the job interview
There is no better way to prepare for the job interview than by experiencing an "actual"
interview. Our staff can conduct mock interviews with your students, then provide
a constructive critique of their performance and provide them with effective interview
strategies. We also provide online mock interview services using Big Interview on-line
virtual interview tutorial to help students sharpen their skills.

We specialize in developing and facilitating career development programming on topics such as resume writing, job-search strategies, and interviewing skills. In addition, we can arrange presentations by professionals (many of them alumni), who can relate their experiences and how their major has helped them in their careers.
The career service center at Augusta University – they were lifesavers. It was like finding an oasis in the middle of a desert. Chris Smith, my career advisor there, was like this incredible mentor. He knew exactly what he was doing, guiding me through the whole process like a pro. Chris was a wizard with interviews and getting into the mindset of the job market. He helped me dive deep into the world of data science, breaking down those complex ideas and tech stuff in a way that just clicked. He was all about making sure I could talk the talk – clear, confident, making every point count. And then the big day came – interview day. I walked in there, and guess what? I nailed it. It wasn't just answering their questions; it was like telling my story, showing them not just what I knew but who I was and how pumped I was to be part of TaxSlayer.
