Welcome!

Western Michigan University's Zhang Career Center ensures business students have the skills to confidently articulate and demonstrate their career readiness to potential employers. We provide business students with resources and experiences that support their success in the work environment and collaborate with employers on hiring talent for their organizations.

We have been closely monitoring and evaluating the rapidly evolving global COVID-19 virus outbreak to ensure we are taking the necessary measures to protect the health and well-being of our faculty, staff, students and guests. Although our doors are closed the Zhang Career Center is still conducting business remotely. This means we are here to help any students who need assistance with resumes, mock interviews, career advice, etc. We will conduct these meetings via email, phone calls or WebEx. Please contact the Zhang Career Center at (269) 387-2711 or schedule an appointment online.
