Career Success

The Office of Career Success serves Isenberg undergraduate and graduate students who study on campus and online, as well as alumni making career transitions. Born of a strategic partnership between the Business and Professional Communications faculty and our career experts at the Chase Career Center, the Office of Career Success offers resume guidance, interview prep and practice, social media profile tips, and more. Our formula is simple – coursework in business and professional communications, plus a full slate of career resources and services, equals career success!

The Office of Career Success

The office encompasses the Chase Career Center and Business & Professional Communications. Together, these two groups of committed staff and faculty ensure that our graduates develop the skills and competencies needed as business professionals.

Chase Career Center

Chase continues to work with students on career plans, resumes, and interview skills, and facilitate networking opportunities as well as help with job and internship applications. The team works diligently to establish partnerships with recruiters and employers who want to recruit Isenberg students by facilitating a full range of career skill-building programs designed to bring students, alumni, and employers together.

Business Communication Program

In the George W. Spiro ’71 Business Communication Program, our faculty teaches essential communication skills to help all Isenberg students excel in the interview process as well as on the job. The Channing Bete Communication Center lives within this program. Staff works with all Isenberg students – outside of class time in a one-on-one setting – to help them develop written assignments, job applications, slide decks, graduate school essays, and oral presentations.
