Grady Career News
Grady Student Newsletter
Greetings from the Grady Career Consultant
Hello, Grady students!
As the semester comes to a close, I hope you all have a great summer ahead. If you are graduating this semester, congratulations! Please keep in mind that alumni career services are always available to you as a University of Georgia graduate.
This will be the last newsletter for this academic year; we will resume in Fall 2018.
This newsletter will be a way for me to share career-related information. This includes Career Center events, events and other ways to connect with employers, ways to gain experience for your resume, and other career tips. Be on the lookout for it every other week.

Arch Ready Professionalism Certificate
If you're returning for classes in the fall, consider attending workshops through the Career Center's Arch Ready Professionalism Certificate.
This certificate is a series of programs offered by the UGA Career Center to provide all UGA students with career development and job search training.
This program is not for academic credit - the goal is to enhance your degree through professional development. We cover topics and questions that many students have about their careers, such as finding an internship, writing a resume and cover letter, and much more!
Completing the Arch Ready program would be a great way to prepare for job and internship searches and graduate school application processes next year.
Keep this in mind over the summer, and look out for more info on campus and in your email as Arch Ready programs start up again in the fall! Check out some more info on the program here.
Meet with Samantha
To schedule an appointment, call (706) 542-3375. Samantha covers Career Center walk-in hours on Mondays, from 12-2 p.m. in Clark Howell Hall. You can also stop by drop-in hours every Tuesday and Wednesday in Journalism, room 309-D from 1-3 p.m.
Receive assistance with resumes, statements of interest, cover letters, job search strategies, interviewing, applying to graduate school and any other career-related topics. Printed copies of materials are preferred.
