Gaining real-world experience through internships and co-ops while in college will provide you with an enhanced understanding of what you learn inside the classroom. Internships help make you a more marketable, competitive candidate to employers. The Office of Experiential Courses and Engaged Learning (EXCEL) verifies that work sites are legal and credible and assists students with the registration process to earn academic credit for internship/co-op experiences.
While Career Services makes every reasonable effort to ensure that employers engaged in campus hiring practices (either online or in-person) adhere to certain ethical standards, be aware that some organizations may participate in illegal recruiting and business practices.
Take charge of your financial future by learning how to negotiate! Negotiating compensation can be tricky, whether it is part of the job search process or asking to receive a raise. It is very common for many employers to have set a starting salary with no room for negotiation, especially entry-level positions; however, with other employers there may be room to negotiate.
SUNY Oswego Career Services has partnered with American Association of University Women (AAUW), a leading national authority on the topic of compensation negotiation, to provide you with the best tools and strategies that exist. The purpose of going through this process is to empower you to successfully and confidently negotiate your salary and benefits, and ensure your compensation is aligned with your worth and market value.
The resources below are designed to take you through the process of knowing your value, articulating your skills and accomplishments in a data-driven way, conducting market-based research, determining your target salary/compensation range, factoring in your budget, and developing a strong “pitch” strategy.
Career Services has paid the subscription fees so you can take a free online salary negotiation course from AAUW! This course will include a basic workbook to help you "do the math" for your negotiation.
