Career Resources for Alumni
The Alumni connection is important to The Citadel. There are many alumni career resources available that can be found on this page. These include Handshake, resume help, networking, and help navigating career options, and other helpful resources. If you are unable to find what you are looking for, please reach out to the Career Center.
Do You Have Career Center Appointment Times For Alumni?
Alumni, up to 3 years, can schedule a 30-min Zoom for job search strategies, access to Handshake, and access our campus recruiting schedule. Handshake is our job board and employer database. Alumni over 3 years are asked to contribute a $50 minimum to The Career Center Fund with TCF, which supports our internship scholarship program. Email careercenter@citadel.edu for help with your job search.
Do You Provide Resume Feedback For Alumni?
See above for up to 3-years. We do not have the staff size to provide online resume reviews for alumni since our focus is current, first-time job seekers. We refer alumni to several resources:
