The focus of the Office of Career Services is the development of students
throughout the various stages of the university experience. These stages include initial entry to the University, selection of academic courses, identifying career goals and objectives and the transition from academics to the world of work or to graduate or professional programs. Specific programs to benefit students are explained below.
CAREER COUNSELING
Attending college, for most students, involves career decision making.
The assistance of the Career Counselor may be helpful for students who are undecided about what career or academic major to select or to find out what employment opportunities exist for certain degrees. Whether selecting or modifying career goals career counseling can be very beneficial. Additional information and assistance is provided for resume preparation, developing interview skills, job search techniques and other related issues. Contact Carl Greig at carl.greig@tamut.edu
or by phone at 903-223-3062 for more information or help with career decision making.
SIGI-Plus (System of Interactive Guidance & Information)
A computerized career guidance system, SIGI is available to all students and to the community. This system is useful in identifying, confirming, or exploring career choices. It is designed to assist you in determining interests, values, skills, and then provides extensive information about careers. The Career Counselor may recommend this tool as part of the process for making academic and career choices. The program requires approximately two hours to complete so it is necessary to schedule an appointment to use it. The Career Counselor is available to assist you and to provide an interpretation of the information SIGI generates for you.
EMPLOYMENT CREDENTIAL SERVICES
Students who register for the credential service may receive notification of employment opportunities in their field and can direct the Career Services to forward the credential packet to the prospective employer. Additionally, job opportunities are posted in notebooks in the Student Services hallway for student use and review. Part-time and temporary employment opportunities are also posted. From time to time students may experience personal difficulties, which impact their academic performance. Personal counseling is available through the Career Counselor. There is no charge for this service. All conversations of this nature are strictly confidential. When necessary, referrals to outside agencies may be arranged. 
Students and alumni of the University are eligible to use the employment credential and referral service. Because it is an optional service, you must come by Career Services to complete an application. You are then responsible for submitting the necessary documents to be included in your credential packet and for keeping the file current. The service provides a central location for employment credentials, notification of employment opportunities in your field and mailing and distribution of your credential packet to prospective employers. This is a free service. The Career Counselor can provide information and assistance for the development of your credential file.
