The Office of Career Services collaborates with faculty, staff, and community partners to provide students and alumni career-focused training that will enhance professional aspirations and lead to a more purposeful contribution to our global society. Common services include administering career assessment tests, developing resumes and cover letters, providing job/internship/externship/graduate school search assistance, strengthening interview skills, hosting career fairs and addressing specific professional development needs (e.g. negotiating salary increases, constructing a LinkedIn profile, expressing proper professional dining etiquette). Additionally, the Office of Career Services connects employers seeking full-time, part-time, or internship candidates to students and alumni of MGA who are ready to enter the workforce. CAREERLINKS (the University’s online job board) and many more career-focused resources are accessible 24/7 online. Walk-ins are welcomed on the Macon campus (Student Life Center, suite 254) and the Cochran campus (Sanford Hall, suite 112) during standard operating hours. Students and alumni alike are encouraged to utilize the center by scheduling an appointment. Support can be gained via email at careeerservices@mga.edu or via telephone at 478-471-2714 (Macon campus) or 478-934-3110 (Cochran campus).
