Career Counseling

At Georgia State, in the heart of Atlanta, we want to help students make a successful transition between college and their career. Each of these offices provides students with an abundance of programs and services to aid in everything from choosing a degree program to making a career change.

Registered students can:

  • Access and apply to part-time, full-time, career and internship positions from the web
  • Participate in the campus interviewing program for career and internship positions
  • Participate in Practice with Professionals mock interviews
  • Receive e-mail notifications of other career-related programs targeted to your interest or major

University Career Services also offers access to career counselors who will provide individual and/or group assistance with choosing a career, job search skills training, adjusting to a new job, a career change, identifying educational options including graduate school and much more.

 

Counseling Center

Georgia State's Counseling Center, located at 106 Courtland Street, specializes in providing a range of services around career and life planning. Individual counseling, educational workshops, and self-directed programs have been developed to help students with career decision-making, career changing and career enhancement needs.

Call 404-413-1640 to schedule an intake appointment. Intake appointments involve meeting individually with a counselor for a screening. The counselor will collect enough information about your career development and related life areas to determine which career-related service is most likely to be helpful.

Robinson College of Business Graduate Career Management

The Robinson College of Business Graduate Career Management (GCM) offers many services and workshops to help graduate business students reach their short and long term career goals. To take full advantage of our services, all students (MBA, Alumni and MS) must first register.
