Dear MPA Students,

If you are looking for a job that will help you strengthen your resume and develop valuable professional skills, consider applying to be an MPA Peer Career Consultant (PCC)! MPA Career Services is looking for two bright and motivated students to join the team.

Still need convincing? Here are 5 reasons why being a PCC is the best job on campus:

  1. As a PCC, you become an expert in career development. Being involved in planning professional events and presentations will help you learn more about your own career development and how to effectively market your degree and establish your career.
  2. PCCs get to assist peers in learning more about MPA career resources and services.
  3. PCCs develop transferrable skills that employers will find impressive, such as communication, leadership, and critical thinking skills.
  4. PCCs get to build relationships with MPA staff, faculty, students, and employers.
  5. MPA Career Services understands that you have a demanding schedule and school responsibilities. Supervisors work with student employees to create balanced work schedules. Plus, you won’t have to work on weekends or holidays!

Please see the PCC Job Description – Summer 2014 for more details on the roles and responsibilities of an MPA Peer Career Consultant.  If you are interested in this paid student position, please submit your cover letter and resume to courtney.crosby@mccombs.utexas.edu by Wednesday, March 26. Please include your hours of availability for Summer and Fall 2014 in your cover letter.
