Career Corner
Welcome to Career Corner at Northern Arizona University.
Career Corner is a weekly gathering where Lumberjacks can meet face-to-face with employers from various industries right on campus. It’s your chance to grab a coffee and chat in a relaxed setting. Whether you‘re curious about a specific industry or exploring potential opportunities, this is the perfect place to start. No need to stress—just come as you are and bring your curiosity!
How to make the most of Career Corner

- Ask questions: Don’t be shy! This is your opportunity to learn about different career paths, company cultures, and what employers look for in candidates.
- Bring your resume: Have a few copies of your resume on hand. Some employers may be ready to collect them or may ask for one.
- Follow up: After the event, connect with the people you met on LinkedIn and send a brief thank-you message to keep the conversation going.
