Landing your first job
Career Development Center
Recent CSULB Graduates
Recent graduates have continued access to all career services. As a recent graduate, a former student who graduated within the last 12 months, your “student” status will be updated to “alumni”. As an alumnus over the next few months, you will start to lose access to various chicklets in MyApps/SSO. You will need to access CareerLINK directly from the CareerLINK Alumni Sign-In.
