The Office of Career Services assists GSAS students and alumni in preparing for their professional future. Through individual counseling, workshops, guest speakers, work groups, and extensive library and alumni resources, OCS provides information about job/career and postdoctoral opportunities as well as instruction in the process of self-assessment, career exploration, and the job search. Academic and nonacademic job search panels and workshops are held both at OCS and at Dudley House. Mock interviews are also available for people at the interview phase of the job search process. An online OCS Dossier Service, for keeping letters of recommendation from professors on file and sending them out on request, is available to all GSAS students and alumni applying for academic positions, postdoctoral positions or fellowships.
