Career Services
http://www.montclair.edu/CareerServices/
Finding the right career starts with self-exploration. Counseling and online tools uncover the clues that can help you decide on a major and a career. Research into occupations and industries, as well as what others have done with your major, help find-tune the process. When it's time to write your resume, practice your interviewing techniques or get a lesson on how to dress for success, our staff serves as an invaluable resource. Our feature-rich website puts research, career fair information, job postings and mentoring at your fingertips. And our open policy means that every student has the opportunity to enrich his or her university experience with one-on-one career counseling.

Cooperative Education

Through this program, more than 700 businesses and non-profit organizations have partnered to advance the education of 14,000 Montclair State students. Career Advisors in each of the colleges and schools will help you prepare for interviews, facilitate contact with employers, identify co-op internships, and continue to work with you, your instructor and your employer to ensure your success.

However, it is necessary to recognize that such occasions might involve risk for the University. Therefore, it is important to ensure that organizations take proper responsibility for following procedures which protect campus facilities and, most importantly, the health and safety of participants.

In order to sponsor Pot Luck meals, campus organizations must first schedule the location with the Associate Director of Student Center Programs, Student Center, Room 400, (973) 655-4411. Once the space has been reserved, (no less than ten days prior to the day of the event) instructions on how to proceed will be provided.
