Career Service Structure

The NYU Shanghai Center for Career Development (CCD)  is dedicated to helping you navigate the career exploration process throughout your master's program. To help you stay on track for career planning, we suggest a career development timeline with three phases -- Phase I (Explore Your Career), Phase II (Develop Your Competencies), and Phase III (Achieve Your Goal)

 

Navigate your career in 3 phases with us!

Phase I: Explore Your Career 

You’ll explore career interests, identify career goals, and finalize your career action plans in this phase under the guidance of CCD. You will complete self-assessments on CareerLeader and CliftonStrengths to learn your talents and strengths, have one-on-one conversations with us to identify your career action plans based on your strengths and interests, and prepare your resume for the upcoming recruitment season.

Phase II: Develop Your Competencies 

To enhance your competitiveness in the job market, the focus of this phase is to develop your career competencies and prepare you for competitive hiring processes by equipping you with the latest recruitment information, industry insights, effective job searching strategies, and guidance on interview preparation. Joining an internship to work towards your career goals to gain real work experience and create a professional network is highly recommended.

Phase III: Achieve Your Goal 

At this stage, we hope to help you achieve your career goals by continuing to provide individualized career coaching services and host career events. We will support you if you’re still seeking full-time opportunities with personalized guidance and prepare those who have landed offers for life beyond NYU Shanghai.
