How do I find an internship or job related to my major?

Contact Robert Bulsza

Click on the CAREER PLANNING link in the menu under MAJOR/CAREER SELECTION and use the free tools we have there for you. These include: What can I do with this major and the Occupational Outlook Handbook.

Once you find job titles and descriptions that you like, the real search begins. Be sure to contact Career Services to schedule a planning session and prepare a resume!

Also, try going to Google.com and searching for your majors' professional organization. These are sites that end in .org and are non-profit, this means the information they contain is usually unbiased, and specific to your career field. Many professional associations list jobs on their web sites.

How do I go about getting a job on campus?

On-campus jobs are secured through the Human Resources Department of Coastal Carolina, located across Highway 501 from the main campus. Contact Ms. Carolyn Hickman-Williams at 843-349-2358.

Do I need an appointment to see a Career Counselor?

It is best if you call or come by to make an appointment so that there will be a counselor available to meet with you. However, when counselors are available they will be glad to see you on a walk-in basis.

How do I log into Chants JOBLINK and Resume Builder? My Coastal password does not work.

Your regular Coastal password will not work for Chants JOBLINK or Resume Builder. At the beginning of the year you are sent a specific, system-generated password for these sites. If you have lost your password, simply type in your Coastal email address as your username and click on "Forgot My Password." Your password will be emailed to your Coastal email address.

How do I log into Discover?

Your usual Coastal password will not work for Discover. For a username, type in "CCU-(your Coastal I.D. number). ***Note: If your I.D. number begins with a "0", do NOT put the "0" at the beginning of your number. Click "submit". You will be taken to a screen to create a password and you can enter the site from there. If you still have trouble logging in, contact Dr. Tom Woodle at 843-349-2357.

When should I start applying for post-graduate jobs?

We recommend that you get your resume in top shape and your networking contacts together the first semester of your senior year. You should seriously begin applying no later than your second semester senior year. Remember that most job searches can take from 3-6 months.
