Career Services

The Career Success team is a resource available to all Pepperdine Caruso School of Law students that will help equip students and graduates with the skills, competencies, and knowledge of career development they need to obtain and achieve their goals. The Career Success team offers individualized career advising to help you explore a wide range of job options while developing a customized action plan. Whether you are preparing for a career change or a job promotion, our team can help students evaluate career decisions based on professional goals.

We recommend that students do not wait until graduation to start realizing these resources. Here is a recommended action plan to help you make the most of these resources:

First term of school:

  1. In the first term, students should become familiar with all the materials offered in the Virtual Career Center.
  2. Update your resume to include graduate program information and expected graduation date.
  3. Consider short and long term professional goals, related to the academic program.
  4. Schedule a time to speak with a career advisor to target your resume toward professional goals, or make an action plan to develop skills to make progress on career goals.

Two terms before graduating:

  1. Create a target list of potential organizations, positions, and locations of interest.
  2. Create a networking action plan to start developing inroads at those organizations. Consult alumni or new networking contacts for warm introductions or informational interviews
  3. Refresh your cover letter, interview skills, and job negotiation strategies
