Career Advising
Carroll School students have two resources for career advising. First, the Boston College Career Center offers resume workshops, interview prep, access to on-campus recruiting and many more programs to help students with the internship and job search process. Please visit their website for a list of upcoming events.
The second resource for Carroll School students can be found right in Fulton Hall. Amy Donegan is a career services professional who has worked at the Boston College Career Center for over 15 years, her most recent role being the Associate Director/Carroll School liaison. In January 2011, Amy joined the undergraduate advising staff as the Associate Director for Career Advising. Carroll School students now have Amy as their own dedicated career advisor in addition to the resources of the Career Center.
Amy has drop-in hours Monday through Wednesday from 1:00-3:00 pm in her office in Fulton 354D. Amy is also available during Dean’s Coffee on Thursdays.
There is a sign-up sheet daily outside her door where you can make appointments to discuss the job search, resumes, cover letters, interviewing, internships, etc.
You can also make an appointment for issues that may take more time such as mock interviews, a career assessment, deciding between offers, or formulating your job search. Sara Nunziata in Futon 360 can schedule an appointment for you.
Career Programming
As a complement to the many opportunities available through the Career Center, the Carroll School also offers students the following career programs:

- Career Opps: These programs occur throughout the academic year and will be advertised through the “This Week in the Carroll School” newsletter. Career Opps feature different alum representing a different field. They are designed to help give Carroll School students exposure to different career fields not typically represented through campus recruiting, previous Career Opps have featured, product marketing, healthcare, art in business, social media, and sports to name a few. It is meant to be for small groups and informal, you just need to show up and ask any questions you want. Open to all class years and all concentrations.

Bring your resume and good questions. Last year’s event had about 25 different organizations in attendance and a very large amount of alumni representing those firms.
