Turtle Project

The goal of Career Services is to help you gain employment in your field within six months after graduation, at as high a salary as possible. The Career Advisor is here to train you on basic job marketing skills and career planning, so that you can achieve your long-term career goals. They will be providing job leads to supplement your job search. Please remember that these leads are often times acquired through direct client contact between the employer and the school, therefore, sharing lead information with people who are not graduates of AIS is prohibited.

You may refuse assistance from Career Services at any time by signing a Waiver form that will release you from further obligations. Career Services will assist you with your resume, cover letters, interviewing skills, job leads or anything else you feel you need help with during the job search. You will have to put in the time and energy required to land a job in your field. It can be a long process but in the end it will pay off if you and the Advisor work together.

Because leads move quickly, it’s imperative that you to keep in touch with your Advisor on a weekly basis so that they can keep current with your available status. The more you keep in touch, the easier it will be to place you.

If you move, change your phone number or e-mail, you will need to notify the office of these changes if you expect to receive leads.

Once you have found employment either through Career Services or on your own, please let your advisor know as soon as possible. What Career Services Provides:
