Sewanee Gateway is an online directory of Sewanee alumni and parents. It is the primary way that students connect with helpful alumni. The search engine is not very intuitive, and users must be very specific when using it. (e.g. when searching for alumni in Atlanta, those living in Decatur or Alpharetta will not appear)
Internships page provides a list of all of the funds and programs that are available to Sewanee students. You can also find deadlines, forms, application procedures, information from past interns and answers to frequently asked questions. Remember, though, visit TigerNet to apply for internships.
HonorRollOnline.com seeks to connect students from selective institutions with enrollments under 5000 with recruiters from Fortune 1000 companies. Sewanee was one of the initial partner schools, and students who post their resumes DO get contacted by recruiters. By junior year, students interested in working in the private sector need to have their resumes posted on Honor Roll Online. Sewanee's school code is 1642.
Optimal Resume is a great place to get a start on your resume. You can create, style and store your resume here and display it as a document or a website. It's a great resource, but remember to have a member of the Career Services staff review it!
Spotlight on Careers provides career resources for liberal arts students, including profiles of jobs and industries and their earnings and outlooks.
