<p>Does AU help (i guess you would say) connect their graduating seniors/grad students to possible employers ?</p>
<p>What types of places hire AU grads (particularly in areas such as international studies)?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>AU has a top notch career services center. They’ll help you with everything: formatting a resume and cover letter, holding mock interviews, etc. AU students also get exclusive access to an online job database – many of which hire only AU students. They hold multiple career fairs, resume drops, etc. throughout the year. Most of all, AU helps by providing a location to do between 1 and 11 internships throughout your academic career – to get valuable experience that puts you way ahead of people working on some rural campus for four years. </p>
<p>AU grads work anywhere – nonprofit sector, private and public. It all depends on what you want to do.</p>
<p>Just to add to that, alumni are able to use the Career Center as well and there is a counselor there just for graduates.</p>
<p>Out of all of the colleges that I have visited, AU seems like it has one of the best career centers available… though that might just have something to do with being in DC and DC being “recession-proof”.</p>
<p>It’s amazing. I have several friends who have graduated AU and they all say the same (asides from being a great school) you actually get help in getting internships throughout school, but also a job later on. Really liking it.</p>
