Franklin & Marshall College

It's okay not to know where you want to go in life or what you want to be "when you grow up."  One of the great benefits of a liberal arts education is the exposure to knowledge, opportunities, and experiences that influence what you want to do in life.

Career Services can help you to build on the critical thinking skills that you are developing at F&M to create a plan that facilitates your ability to achieve greatness, success, and fulfillment in life.

Whether you are a freshman, a senior, a student studying abroad, or an alumnus, Career Services is always available to you.  We can help you explore, research, and focus your interests using a number of different tools, from structured self assessments to coaching conversations.  

Our online Career Management System, F&MConnect has a wealth of information and resources including, but not limited to:

• Resource Library with folders of documents specifically for
  • Exploring Your Interests

• Exploration Resources includes external links to 
  • FOCUS, a self assessment tool including information about numerous career fields
  • What can I do with this career?

Another great way to explore future possibilities is through conversation with people working in your areas of interest.  Reaching out to people can be intimidating, so start with professors and friends of your family.  You can also meet with a career coach who can provide you with tools to help you network, build relationships and excel.
