O*Net: An online system that assesses your interests and abilities while providing a wealth of timely information about a variety of careers.
Major Resources: Valuable information on what to do with each major and linked career sites are provided.

Career 411: Podcasts by employers are available on the CMU iTunes University on a variety of subjects from "How to Network" to "Dress Smart."
Learning Express Library: A comprehensive resource that offers practice tests for Civil Service, Law Enforcement, Teaching, Graduate Entrance Exams, etc. Also available are current career information, resume writing guides, interviewing and networking advice.

Students at Park Hills, Union, and Sedalia may also use CMU resources housed at the respective campuses.
