UT TYLER OFFICE OF CAREER SERVICES

ALUMNI SERVICES

The Office of Career Services at The University of Texas at Tyler is designed to best serve the needs of the new college graduate.  Our resources, job postings and expertise are geared toward entry-level positions in the job market and entry into graduate and professional schools.  As a result of this focus and our staff size, we limit our counseling and advising services to alumni who have graduated in the last three years.  Alumni may utilize all other services including electronic resources online.

Appointments with Career Advisors

Alumni within three years of graduation can call (903) 565-5862 to schedule an appointment with a career advisor.  Phone appointments can be arranged if you are unable to visit campus.  Alumni are limited to one session with a career advisor.

PatriotJobs

PatriotJobs is our web-based career management system that is unique to UT Tyler.  Full-time professional, part-time, and internship employment opportunities are available via our online database and in notebooks located in Career Resource Library.  Alumni must contact Krista Richardson, Coordinator of Career Services, at (903) 565-5581 or krichardson@uttyler.edu, or Garnesha Beck, Employer Relations Specialist, at (903) 566-7271 to obtain access to the system.  Alumni can then self-register for PatriotJobs and create their own unique password to access employment opportunities on a 24-hour basis.  Alumni can also upload and publish résumés via PatriotJobs to take advantage of the résumé referral service with reputable employers.

Reciprocal Services

Career Services may be able to arrange the use of another college/university's career services for UT Tyler alumni living away from the Tyler area. Often, peer institutions will allow others to use their career services job listings, library, or other resources.  You may be able to attend their group workshops. To explore this option, request a Letter of Reciprocity from us asking for reciprocal services and note which college/university you are hoping to access.Please keep in mind that each campus makes their own policy about which services they will offer under reciprocity and some may choose to charge a fee.
