Career Center

Career Services

Take full advantage of the range of services we provide to support your professional development and career searching processes. It is no mistake that many of these are face-to-face interactions! Making hiring decisions is highly interpersonal and developing your ability to have conversations about yourself, your interests, and your accomplishments is essential. 

Career Counseling

The goal of career counseling at the Duke University Career Center is to help students and alumni develop an action plan for accomplishing their personal career goals. Since there are benefits to developing a relationship with your counselor as soon as your first year at Duke, we hope you’ll visit early and often.

Call (919) 660-1050 to schedule an appointment.

    Drop-In Advising

    Why go?
    Drop-In Advising is the best way to get immediate and ongoing feedback on your resumes and other documents.  You can also use drop-in advising to ask any quick career questions, learn about the career center, and our resources.  You'll spend 10 to 15 minutes with an advisor, so don't hesitate to organize your thoughts in advance to make the most of the time!

    How it works
    Bring your printed documents to be reviewed (In Smith Warehouse, there is an ePrint station in Bay 6, 1st Floor). Sign in when you arrive -first come, first served.

    Job Search Work Groups for Graduate Students

    Get motivated for your non-academic job search! Bring your lunch over the course of six weekly meetings to meet with a supportive and resourceful small group of fellow graduate students. Our objective is to jump start your job search and provide you with a safe place to talk about challenges you might experience.

    Space is limited and registration occurs online. Watch our events calendar for the launch of the next work group.

    Resource Library

    The Career Center library has a variety of books and periodicals covering topics ranging from particular job industries and internships, to advice on resumes, cover letters, and interviewing.  While most periodicals and some books here are for onsite use only, many of the books are available for short-term checkout.
