Warren Wilson College Support Services
Career Services
The Career Services Center encourages and assists students as they move from the Warren Wilson community into the wider world of work. The Center helps students use their Warren Wilson academics, work, and service experiences as resources and tools to make a good living and, more importantly, to make a good life. The Center helps students discern their individual skills and gifts through counseling, self-assessment tools, and reflection. By encouraging students to frame a vision for their lives, the Center helps students use their skills to pursue their personal values. The Center assists students with writing resumes, cover letters, and resume portfolios. The Center maintains a library of books, brochures, catalogs, and computer resources related to jobs, graduate and professional schools, career paths, internships, summer jobs, service opportunities, personal development, and other subjects.
