University of Maryland Career Resources

Career Services at the School of Public Policy is an invaluable resource for students. Whether it's writing a resume, learning how to network, or sharpening interview skills, Career Services offers workshops and one-on-one meetings to ensure that students are prepared for the competitive job market. Ultimately, in a field as broad and diverse as public policy, individual attention is crucial to helping you find a job that matches your particular policy interests and allows you to apply the skills and knowledge learned at MSPP in a professional context. This is the most important job the Office of Career Services has and they do it very well.
