Tammy Delisle, Career Development & Student Employment Coordinator (834-8647)

The University of Maine at Fort Kent recognizes career planning as a process that begins in a student’s first year and continues through graduation. Students are introduced to the career planning and placement process in the HUM 102 course. The Career Services Coordinator leads an overview of the process and teaches the basic components of the resume. This introduction allows students to create a basic resume that can be utilized and updated throughout their undergraduate career for internships, externships, preceptorships, career fairs, and job/career opportunities.

Students are also encouraged to use the services provided by and available in the UMFK Student Affairs suite. These services include occupational interest inventories (O*Net), a career information library and resource center, and other helpful information and materials. Resume and Cover Letter workshops and seminars are available throughout the school year to help students become familiar with different formats and styles employers expect to receive from college graduates.

The UMFK CareerLink is where jobs are posted. In addition, UMFK Career Services hosts an annual Spring Semester Career Week when employers and professionals come to campus and engage with the students. There are various events such as the Annual Resume Writing Contest, Mock Interviews, and a Networking event.
