Welcome UB Faculty and Staff!
We encourage UB faculty and staff to partner with Career Services in helping students make educated decisions about careers and graduate school, find job/internship opportunities, and build a successful career. Here are some of the services we offer faculty and staff:
Hire a Student
Is your department looking to hire qualified Student Assistants, Work-Study Students, Graduate Assistants, Teaching Assistants, or Research Assistants? Maximize your department's exposure and attract qualified applicants by posting these positions on our centralized electronic job board for students.
To post a work-study position, please visit www.hireworkstudy.buffalo.edu; to post non work-study (SA, GA, TA, and RA) positions, please click here. For more information, please contact Career Services at 645-2231.
Request a Workshop
We would be delighted to present a workshop or to speak to your class on the career- or employment-related topic of your choosing. In addition, if conferences or travel plans take you out of town on a class day, rather than canceling class, please consider adding us to your syllabus! Simply complete our online workshop request form, and a Career Services staff member will contact you about your workshop request in two to three business days.
Calendar of Events
Take a look at our Calendar of Events to see what we have planned for the semester: workshops, job fairs, graduate school days, networking events, and more! You may wish to note important dates on your syllabus and encourage your students to attend.

How You Can Help
Refer Your Students
Refer students who are undecided in their major or career path to Career Services. We conduct individual career counseling, and administer career assessment tests including the Strong Interest Inventory and FOCUS (online career guidance program). The Brent D. Arcangel Career Resource Library contains a multitude of up-to-date resources for career exploration, as well as resource for the job/internship search and advanced degrees.
Encourage undecided students to consider taking UBE202. UBE202 is a 3-credit course, designed to assist freshmen and sophomores in examining their career choice. Taught by a professional career counselor, the course covers topics including career, personal, and educational awareness; self-assessment exercises that help identify tentative career options; planning and decision-making strategies; resume/cover letter writing; interviewing skills; and job/internship search strategies. Registration is by permission of instructor only. Please refer interested students to our office in 259 Capen.
Share Employer Contacts
Each year, Career Services hosts recruiters from a variety of local and national employers, who come to campus to attend job fairs, hold information sessions, or meet with students in our private interview rooms. Students may view the list of companies, submit a resume, and sign up for an interview slot - all online. View a list of organizations that recruit at UB.
Do you have any employer contacts to share, or do you know anyone who is hiring? Encourage employers to make contact with our office and take advantage of electronic job posting, on-campus interviewing, and job fairs. To learn about our employer services, visit our employer homepage at http://www.hireub.buffalo.edu.
