Career Services and Development

LinkedIn

  • Your professional network of trusted contacts gives you an advantage in your career, and is one of your most valuable assets. LinkedIn exists to help you make better use of your professional network and help the people you trust in return.

    We have established a networking resource for alumni, students, faculty, and staff of the Michigan State University School of Labor and Industrial Relations.

Job Postings

  • In addition to employment opportunities posted in our SLIR LinkedIn group, MySpartanCareer.com, offers on- and off-campus job listings for full-time, part-time, seasonal, and paid internship positions, as well as schedules of on-campus interviews, workshops, and other career events. This site is designed for MSU students and alumni to search for employment as well as for employers and staff to post recruiting announcements. If you have any questions, please contact careerservices@csp.msu.edu or Cheryl Mollitor, Graduate Program Administrator via e-mail at mollitor@msu.edu, or by phone at 517-355-3285. For questions regarding our SLIR LinkedIn group, please contact Mary Meyer, Alumni Coordinator via e-mail meyerma8@msu.edu, or by phone at 517-432-3446.
