The services of Job Placement are available to anyone who ever has attended Jackson State Community College. We will refer you on positions for which you appear qualified and which seem to meet your needs. Also, we want to help prepare you for your job search advice on writing resumes, cover letters, thank you letters, and preparing for interview. We have provided a sample cover letter, resume, and thank you letter to help you in preparing each of yours.
We are located inside the Counseling Office in the Student Union building, and we're open from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
