Geek to Chic: Look as Smart as Your Are

Most students are aware that in the “working world” making a professional impression matters in almost every field—whether it is in academia or industry; however, many students do not have the “how to's” or the resources to develop their professional presence. Review related resources, and view highlights from the 2007 event.

Library Resource Center

The Career Development Center has a library resource center which contains a variety of books on various career related issues. The following is a list of those subject areas. Please note that books cannot be borrowed from our library.

Caltech Alumni

One of the greatest tools we can offer our students is the opportunity to network with another member of the Caltech family. The easiest way to assist others is to enter your information on Caltech's Alumni Directory.

You can also make connections while assisting with your organization's hiring needs through posting job listings, interviewing on-campus and attending our two job fairs (Fall and Spring Career Fair).

If you would like to participate in any of our other events, such as the Ph.D/Postdoc Career Conference and alumni panel workshops, please contact us at (626) 395-6361.
