Career Center FAQ

 

Who do I contact for an appointment?
The Career Center has two locations on campus. The main center can be reached by calling (601) 974-1346  or by emailing Tonya Nations. The Else School Career Center is overseen by Suzi Nyberg. She can be reached by calling (601) 974-1214.

How do I get a job on campus?
First, check to see if any jobs are listed on College Central Network, then apply to the job(s) that interest you. Remember, most jobs are posted at the beginning of each academic year in August. This is the best time to secure an on-campus job. Each job requires that you apply using the Student Employment Application (PDF).

Will the Career Center help me with my resume or cover letter? 
Yes. Contact our office to set up an appointment. If you are a business, public management or pre-law major, contact Suzi Nyberg. All other majors are to contact Tonya Nations. We also help with curriculum vitas. For immediate resume assistance, go to College Central Network and view advice from professionals on CareerTV or download one of College Central's resume or cover letter documents.

What sort of help do you offer someone applying to graduate school?
The main Career Center is where you go for assistance with your vita or personal statement. Our office provides resources for your search and advice about your graduate school application. Remember to visit the Graduate/Professional School Fair that takes place in the Leggett Center each September. It's never too early to attend!

What is College Central Network and how do I use it?
College Central Network is an online system that we have chosen for posting jobs and for housing resumes. A new service for building portfolios has been added and we encourage alumni and students to try it. College Central also offers career advice in the form of CareerTV and printable documents. This free service is available to Millsaps students and alumni at www.collegecentral.com/millsapscollege.

Can the Career Center help me choose my major?
Yes. For career counseling and testing, call (601) 974-1346 or email Tonya Nations to set up a time to meet. These services are free to Millsaps students and alumni. In addition to the MBTI and the Strong Interest Inventory, the Career Center offers students the chance to test and build a profile online with FOCUS.

How do get an internship?
Whether you are seeking credit through Faith & Work Initiative, your academic department, or the Internship-for-Credit program, the Career Center can help you with the first step: finding the internship. Many internships are posted on College Central Network. However, if you do not find one that interests you, contact our offices for further help. We will gladly help you ask businesses and organizations if they will consider hosting an intern for the semester.

I'm graduating, how do I start looking for a job?
Well, it depends. If you are a business major (undergraduate or graduate), pre-law or public management major, then contact Suzi Nyberg for assistance at (601) 974-1214. If you have a major in Arts & Letters or Sciences, contact Tonya Nations at (601) 974-1346. We will help you polish your resume, cover letter and interview skills. Then, we will advise you on the process and provide connections for your search, whether it is local, regional, national or global.

Can I use the Career Center after I graduate?
Yes. Our offices assist alumni and our services are free.
