Our Services

We're here to help. When you visit the Center, you will be greeted by our friendly staff, who will orient you to all the Center's resources. We have sought to create a pleasant environment in which to learn about job opportunities at the University, as well as the training programs and job search counseling services offered directly through the Center.

The Center is more than an access point to apply for open positions at the University—when you visit, you can also obtain job seach assistance and participate in training programs.

Center staff help facilitate the hiring process, but schools and departments remain responsible for hiring decisions and informing candidates of direct employment offers.

  • Plan and discuss the job search strategy, and identify positions that best match experience or career interests
  • Review the résumé and cover letter, and provide feedback on potential areas for improvement
  • Conduct mock interviews to help prepare for future interviews with Columbia University hiring managers or other potential employers
  • Provide referrals to community resources to further assist with individual needs
