Career Development Resources

The Clay Center and the University Career Services Office (CSO) offer a variety of resources designed to help you make well-informed academic major and career choices, including:

  • GoNOVA
    GoNOVA (formerly eRecruiting/Experience) is a web-based career management system administered by CSO to help you manage your career development process. All undergraduate students have an account. Your username is your full Villanova email (ex: jane.doe@villanova.edu) and your password is: Sophomores-your Banner ID, Juniors and Seniors-the last four digits of your SSN. Freshman accounts are activated in October.
     
  • Vault Online Library
    Vault is a web-based library which provides a wealth of career-related information including career guides, industry guides and overviews, employer profiles, company Q&As, profiles and videos, and career resources including interviewing tips, sample resumes, graduate school information, and more.

  • Clay Center Resource Room
    Located in Bartley 1054, the Clay Center Resource Room houses a collection of resources related to business careers and job search skills. Some popular topics include: careers in accounting, the fashion industry, top 50 banking employers, finance interviews, and starting your own business.

    The Clay Center also maintains an Information Center with handouts on VSB majors/minors, summer study abroad programs, and internship guidelines, as well as CSO resume writing and cover letter writing guidelines.

  • Career Services' NovaNet: A Database of Mentors at Your Fingertips

    NovaNet, a mentor database, provides you with the contact information for alumni and employers who are interested in helping you on your journey of career exploration. Whether you are utilizing the database to explore options for your major, or you are starting the job search process, NovaNet can be a source of excellent information. While the mentors are not in the database to make job offers, their assistance often provides students not only with information to help make a decision, but additional contacts and ideas for the exploration process. Networking is perhaps the most powerful way to find a position and/or gain knowledge about a specific industry and with NovaNet you have an entire network of contacts at your fingertips.

    NovaNet is part of Career Services' GoNOVA program, which also houses the University's job and internship postings and the On Campus Recruiting program.  You can contact the University's Career Services' Office by stopping by 106 Corr Hall or calling 610.519.4060.
