In today’s economy, one of your biggest concerns may be how to snag a job once you graduate. You’ve done all you can to get the best grades, but that may not be enough. With competition between graduates at an all time high, employers are looking for students with the most experience in their field. That’s why TCNJ’s Career Center is here to help you.

But where is this mysterious helper?

The Career Center is located on campus at Roscoe West Hall, Room 102. Here you can find personal guidance from advisers who can set up for you a unique career path. Their services range from resume constructing to individual career counseling.

Their resume workshops are open to walk-ins every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday during the afternoon, and then Friday mornings.

What about the Individual Career Consulting?

If you want to set up an individual career counseling appointment, you can call the center at 609-771-2161 or stop by the office to set a date and time for a session. In these meetings, you will be advised on how to select the right major for you and have the option of taking a career assessment.

Do they have any services available online?

Their website offers many more services for TCNJ students! On these pages you will find tips for interviews, a guide for what careers are offered for your major, and even advice for whether to attend graduate school and how to snag a spot in these selective programs.


One of the Career Center’s most used resources is Lionslink. TCNJ students can get access to this tool by using their student logins. Once logged in, you can choose to search for on-campus jobs and internships.

Perhaps the coolest thing about Lionslink is how it will send you e-mails when job openings become available that fit your criteria. This is perfect if you don’t have the time to constantly check the website for new listings.

TCNJ’s Career Center is a resource that shows just how lucky we are to be on a close-knit campus with adults who sincerely care about your future! So make sure to take advantage of this useful office.

Jessica is one half of the fantastic duo founding Her Campus on the leafy suburban campus that is The College of New Jersey. A Journalism major and Communications minor in the Class of 2012, she is a native of Pennsylvania and an adoptive resident of New Jersey. That's why she can't fist pump, but can pump gas. Before Her Campus, Jessica was a newspaper reporter, communications assistant and world traveler, having studied and interned abroad in London. When she's not writing or talking up a storm, Jessica can be found bargain shopping, catching up on a good book, fiddling with her camera or attempting to stay in shape. Other passions include hummus, tickling those ivories on the piano, meeting new people and all things Her Campus.
