Career Services
The health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff are of utmost importance during these uncertain times. Due to this, Murray State University Career Services continues to serve students and alumni virtually through Zoom and phone coaching appointments. If circumstances require you to meet in-person, contact us directly (msu.careerservices@murraystate.edu / 270-809-3735) to schedule an appointment.
Please note, face-to-face appointment availability is limited due to space and staff scheduling, which may result in longer wait times for appointments. Those seeking a face-to-face appointment will be asked to adhere to social distancing guidelines and to wear a mask, per the Racer Restart plan.
Greetings and welcome to Murray State University Career Services!
We’re here to assist Racers in all areas of career development and planning! If it’s
related to your career, we can help!
As we continue to adapt to the realities of COVID-19, we have had to make some modification
to our services:
- The vast majority of students appointments will be conducted virtually
- Students are welcome to come in at their scheduled time to utilize one of our Zoom rooms for their appointment
- Masks are required in the Career Services office
- Social distancing is strongly recommended in Career Services facilities
- The JC Penney Suit-Up Event will be hosted virtually on February 12-14
- Our Spring '21 Career Fairs will be hosted virtually via Handshake
- All Career Services seminars will be broadcast via Zoom and YouTube
- At this point in time students may request career closet appointments on Handshake, but operations will be a bit different
Career Services greatly appreciates the opportunity to assist Racers and alumni with their career plans. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at any time! We look forward to helping you build your future!
