Volunteer Wherever You Are

Share Your Experiences
Do you have 30 minutes to talk about your job or industry? Students want to hear from you! Join a virtual session featuring alumni sharing their career paths, industry/job insights, and/or tips for applying to your industry with students. This opportunity is best suited for alumni with less than five years of experience.

We are seeking your help in supporting students enrolled in our 1-credit career courses through live resume reviews and mock interviews. The UMD University Career Center anticipates 400+ UMD students to enroll in two of our 1-credit career courses. Dates are available from February through May 2024.


For resume reviews, we are seeking volunteers who have a background in career services, recruiting, human resources, hiring for professional positions, or related fields where resume reviews have been conducted in the past.

Mock interview volunteers are open to everyone.
All volunteers will receive training materials from me a few weeks before your scheduled shift.

**Please note, if you sign up for the date(s) and time(s) in the form, please block your calendar as we are counting on you on the list of volunteers for that day.
