Even if your career center does not focus on industries that interest you, it may still be a useful resource. Most career centers have resource centers or small libraries in which you can find brochures, contact lists, annual reports, and other information. Your career center should have information about public sector jobs, such as the FBI or other government positions, and it may have industry-specific information, such as a list of all the law firms in a particular state. Career centers may also conduct resume or cover letter workshops. Finally, career counselors should be on hand to give you advice on finding jobs and preparing for interviews. 

Also included in the Online Study Center are an interactive periodic table, a molecule library of chemical structures, and a Careers in Chemistry page, which has links to information on careers in industry, education, medicine, law, and other fields. A passkey is not required to access these resources.
