Indiana Wesleyan University students have the opportunity to experience a variety of resources and assessments through Life Calling and Career. The goal of these resources and assessments is to provide clarity to their personal uniqueness and equip students to have the skills to succeed in college and their career.
Career Resources & Workshops
The Career team is here to help develop your career potential! We are in the habit of helping students learn the skills to be successful in and after college when it comes to professional development and building their network. We are not here to simply give you a job, but to teach you the skills on how to get a job!
Not sure where to start? Meet with a Career Coach to clarify your goals!
Our team is here to help you revise and strengthen your resume and cover letter. Don’t have a resume or cover letter yet? We can help you get started!
Whether you’re looking for on-campus, summer, or full-time jobs, our team is here to assist in finding current openings that match your interest and needs.
Looking for an internship to develop your career interest? Maybe you’re looking to fulfill an internship credit for class; we can help with connecting you to internship resources according to your career path.
Students who have an upcoming interview are welcome to practice their interview and work out their nerves with one of our career coaches. This appointment can help bring to mind potential questions asked in interviews. Whether your interview is for a job, graduate school, or to become more self-aware, mock interviews are beneficial for career development.
Students are encouraged to create a LinkedIn profile to job search and network with alumni and other industry leaders. Meet with a career coach to learn how to get the most out of your LinkedIn experience.

Life Calling & Career equips Indiana Wesleyan University students with the vital skill of networking through employer visits on campus. Employers recruit for jobs/ internships/ and other opportunities weekly at the Career Kiosk in our student center mallway. Employers represent a variety of industries. We encourage students to network with the employers to gain skills and maybe even land an interview!
The Life Calling & Career team is here to support students by providing professional attire to students for interviews, career fairs, and other professional events. The initiative gives students from all backgrounds an equal opportunity to feel professional and to pursue their career goals. We are asking the IWU community to support our efforts to empower IWU students by donating business professional clothing to supply our inventory needs.
