At Olin, you direct your own job search. WCC staff members serve as coaches — for internships, full-time positions and lifelong career management. In addition to the variety of services offered by the WCC, an internship lays your professional foundation by giving you the opportunity to demonstrate on-the-job aptitude and skills - and the chance to see if you enjoy the work.
In addition, internship employers are a great career resource. They can provide mentoring, job references and recommendations, or hire you for a full-time job.
Our advisers are available to discuss internships, as well as full-time employment opportunities. They'll reserve time to work with you individually, either for a 30-minute strategic planning meeting or a 60-minute practice interview. Sessions are held in the Weston Career Center at Simon Hall. Call 314-935-5950 to schedule an appointment.
Advisers also offer 15-minute consultations on a first-come, first-served basis. No appointment is necessary. Just drop by the Weston Career Center during posted Express Advising hours.
