Faculty & Staff Resources

Connecting with the CDO

The Career Development Office (CDO) is committed to advancing the value of a liberal arts education, and supporting students on their path toward and beyond the gates. In partnership with our fellow staff, members of our distinguished faculty, student leaders, clubs, and organizations, Pomona Alumni, and others, the CDO strives to do our part to prepare Sagehens for their next great journey as the leaders, innovators, and activists of tomorrow.

The Community Update

Once every semester, the CDO sends out a digital newsletter – The Community Update –sharing past highlights, upcoming events, student, faculty, and staff resources, and more. The Community Update is sent to the Faculty and Staff Listervs. Find previous Community Updates via our newsletter archive.

CDO Student Resources

Students have access to various resources through our office, including a Resource Directory, Class Year Checklists, a Resume and Cover Letter Guide, an International Student Resource Guide, The Pomona College Internship Program (PCIP), Smart Start, and more.

Every Pomona Student has access to a free Handshake account – the college’s student job board, which connects them to on- and off-campus jobs, internships, CDO hosted events, alumni networking opportunities, career fairs, industry treks, digital resources, and career advising appointments!

Drop-In Hours

Every week, Mon. - Fri. 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. & 3 - 4:30 p.m., students are welcome to stop by the CDO or request a virtual drop-in, where they can get support from one of our amazing Peer Advisors with simple questions or resume reviews.

This free-to-Pomona Student resource outlines various career pathways related to different majors, though we like to remind students that their major does not need to equal their career (for example, a student majoring in Art History could pursue a career in STEM, or a Theater major could pursue a post-graduate path in prelaw).

Students can view videos featuring Pomona Alumni who discuss their career journey post-Pomona.

Another free-to-Pomona Student resource that provides AI Feedback after student’s record themselves answering mock interview questions! Big Interview has a lot of helpful tools to prepare students to enter interviews with knowledge and self-confidence!

If students are not sure what next step to take in their career preparation journey, our office’s class year checklists could be a helpful guide.
