Services
Reference/Credential File
The Department will house and forward letters of references which students and alumni arrange to have written for them by professional associates. Students and alumni receive twelve free requests to have up to eight references at a time forwarded to employers. Each file request after these twelve is then $3 per request.* Fees may change as more school districts join online application systems. In a job search, this helps with organization, saves time, and relieves references from writing several letters. We strongly recommend opening your file before graduating and updating your file as needed to keep it current. Forms to open and send your file to employers are available in the Co-op & Career Development Center.
Specific Career Handouts
A collection of handouts is available to assist students and alumni with basic career development and job search information. 
The Resume, The Cover Letter and The Interview are viewable and printable in pdf format. These handouts and additional reference information on these and other topics, including portfolios, relocating, negotiating a salary, and other topics are also available in the Co-op & Career Development Center in the Wick Center.
Resume and Cover Letter Critiques
Students and alumni can have their resumes and cover letters critiqued by a counselor during an individual appointment.
Practice Interviews
Students and alumni can schedule individual sessions with a counselor to role-play a job interview which is recorded and then played back for immediate discussion. This is very helpful in preparing for future interviews and evaluating interview strengths and weaknesses.
Graduate Survey
Each year, beginning six months after graduation, the Department surveys Daemen's most recent graduates to determine how and what they are doing during this next stage in their lives. This provides the Department with information helpful in assisting current students and faculty. All names and associated information remain confidential. This information helps us calculate accurate employment statistics and identifies current employment trends, thereby keeping us informed of the job market for our students.
