What We Do
Loyola's Rizzo Career Center helps students and alumni at whatever point they are in their career journeys, from the first day of undergraduate classes to late career changes. We've developed a unique four phase approach that we use to serve every student and alumni, assessing where they are and helping them make progress toward their goals.
Our team of professionals is ready to serve you in a variety of ways:
One-on-One: Counseling and coaching
Whether you want to explore all the potential options in front of you or get detailed tips on pursuing a specific position, our team of career counselors and industry insider coaches is here to support you as you achieve your personal goals. More than 2,200 students and alumni met with the Career Center in 2017-18.
Events and Workshops
We host a variety of career-themed events in collaboration with employers, alumni, and on-campus partners. These include resume building workshops, interview training, networking events, career fairs, and many more.
Job and Internship Connections
Loyola is a proud member of Handshake, an online platform featuring over 500,000 employers posting positions and searching for top college and alumni talent to fill them.
On-Campus Recruiting
Nearly 300 employers interact with Loyola students every year to interview candidates for incredible opportunities. Many students receive job or internship offers at top organizations without ever having to step foot off campus!
Fostering Alumni Connections
Loyola boasts an active network of over 70,000 alumni as well as thousands of parents and volunteers who support the University. We encourage students and alumni to tap into the benefits of Greyhound Nation by leveraging LinkedIn. We aim to bring the Loyola community together around career-related networking and professional development for all.
Business Cards and Thank You Notes
They may seem like small things, but having professional business cards and thank you notes can help you stand out early in your career. The Career Center provides free thank you notes with the Loyola seal that you can pick up during business hours from the Rizzo Career Center. You can order personalized business cards ($6) through The Bridge and will be notified when they are ready to pick up (shipping is not available at this time).
Reciprocity with other Jesuit Career Centers
Most of the nation鈥檚 28 Jesuit College & University Career Centers offer select services such as assistance with local job and internship searches to students and alumni from other Jesuit schools. For more information, contact us at 410-617-2232 or thecareercenter@loyola.edu.
