Dear Alumni,
We hope you’re safe and healthy in light of the spread of COVID-19. Our first priority
as a university is to make sure you stay healthy and safe in the weeks to come by
following the plan distributed by our University, and our local, state, and national
healthcare experts, and government officials.
Southeastern wants to continue to serve as a resource for you. The Office of Career
Services and the Southeastern Alumni Association have opportunities for you as you
consider your future.
We know that many of you are thinking about the future and your current job or finding
a new job—and aren’t quite sure what to do now that “social distancing” is in place.
This doesn’t mean you need to stop engaging with potential employers and applying
for jobs.
Office of Career Services
If you need your resume reviewed, you can email it to resumereview@southeastern.edu or upload it to your profile on Handshake Below are some helpful tips to guide you through using Handshake to continue to actively
explore career opportunities without coming to campus:
Attend online events: To the greatest extent possible, we are shifting all employer
events online. Simply follow this link to head to the events page in Handshake and search for events marked as a “virtual
session” event type.
Learn from your peers: Read the over 100,000+ employer reviews on Handshake to learn
more about what it’s like to intern or work at a specific company. Use Peer Messaging
to chat with alumni or other students with your major or even to conduct informational
interviews online. Check out this guide to learn more about how to learn from other students on Handshake.
Fill out your online profile: Did you know that 80% of students who fill out location
preferences, job role preferences, and job type preferences receive a message from
an employer? It’s a simple step, but a really effective way to start engaging with
potential employers online. Here’s a quick guide to getting the most out of your Handshake profile.
Follow employers you’re interested in: By following an employer, you’ll be alerted when they post an upcoming online event.
