Faculty and Staff Resources
One way Saint Louis University Career Services assists students and alumni in exploring and pursuing meaningful careers is by fostering collaborative partnerships with faculty, staff and administrators. Through modeling and mentoring, these relationships and interactions empower SLU students and alumni in their decision-making process and vocational discernment.
Referring Employers to Career Services
Part of our commitment to students is to connect and build relationships with employers.
We are open to recommendations from faculty and staff regarding employers they would
like us to contact. Your submissions assist our office in our employer outreach efforts,
benefiting students. If you know of an employer with an open position or one who could
be a good Career Services contact, contact Employer Relations Consultant Laura Schrubb
at 314-977-2949 or laura.schrubb@slu.edu.
Connecting Employers to the Classroom
We can connect you with employers who can come and speak with your students about their opportunities for internships/co-op and full-time jobs. Employers can inform students about the realities of the work they may be doing with their major or inform them of the job search skills they will need. Please contact Employer Relations Consultant Laura Schrubb at 314-977-2949 or laura.schrubb@slu.edu.

Faculty Guidelines to Legal and Ethical Standards in Student Hiring
As a faculty member, you might play a direct role in the employment process for new graduates both through your interactions with students and with employers. In complement with the SLU career services staff, you influence both the students seeking employment as well as employers seeking talent. On occasion, your desire and willingness to help students in their job/internship search could result in unanticipated illegal and/or unethical actions.
The National Association for Colleges and Employers (NACE) has developed ethical standards for faculty assisting students in the job search.
Student Referral to Career Services
Our career counselors have the training and skills to support you as you work with students making career-related decisions. In addition to counseling, our staff often use assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Strong Interest Inventory, and StrengthsQuest to help provide guidance on career direction.
Please refer students to Career Services when they:
- Lack a career direction and has difficulty making career decisions
- Have self-doubts or confusion and lack self-awareness
- Love their major but do not know where to take it
- Have a career goal but need help putting it into action
- Want to find an internship, job shadowing or volunteer experience
- Are ready to start the job search and need assistance with networking, resume and/or cover letter development, and interviewing
Our counselors work with students from specific disciplines, but they are also generalists, able to work with deciding students and students from all majors and schools.
You can refer students to our office via phone, 314-977-2828, or through EAB Navigate in the mySLU portal to schedule an appointment.
