Sometimes it's difficult figuring out what services are available and who to talk to on such a large campus! The Career Center is dedicated to quality customer service, and we are always happy to help you find what you need. Here are some frequently asked questions:
The Human Resources Department handles staff and faculty positions for San Jose State University.
If you are undeclared, you need to talk to a GE advisor in the the Academic Advising & Retention Services office.
If you need advising for a specific major or department, you need to set up an appointment with an academic advisor in your major or department.
While the Career Center cannot recommend classes you should take, we are glad to help you decide on a major or career goal. Stop by the Career Center, or check out our resources on the web, including the Exploring Majors & Careers tutorial, Self-Assessment Exercises
and What Can I Do With My Major.
If you are an SJSU Alum, you can still access our services by purchasing an Annual Career Center Membership or by becoming a part of the SJSU Alumni Association.

Career Center members are the first to receive updates and news about Career Center events and also receive access to job and internship opportunities exclusively for SJSU students.
Members may post 10 resumes online and our system automatically tracks every resume you send.
Additionally, employers who are registered with the Career Center have the option of reviewing Resumes that are featured in our Resume database. There's a good chance they may contact you about possible opportunities.
Keeping current versions of your Resume online allow you to apply for opportunities with the click of your mouse.
Employers are also able to view your Resume when they do searches for suitable candidates within the database.
Career Center staff also refer student Resumes in the database based on employers' requests.
We can guarantee your Resume won't be referred if it's not online.
