Career Planning Guide
The Career Planning Guide (CPG) booklet is published (pdf) each year by Career and Professional Development for Virginia Tech students. It covers basics topics including resume preparation, job search correspondence, and more. We also provide "Career Quick Start," with similar information in webpage format. Topics are covered in more depth in our career resources and topics for students.
First Destination Report:
What graduates do first, after the undergraduate degree
We survey all graduating seniors to ask their first destination; individual reponses are confidential. New grads can complete the survey and update their responses up to six months after commencement. Report includes:
- Employed grads: salary medians; list of job titles, employers, and locations.
- Continuing education grads: list of degrees, programs, and institutions.
- Experience during college; including types of experience (sample graphic below).
- Regrets about career planning and preparation.
