Virtual Tour
Outside
The Career Resource Center, completed in January 1996, is
part of UF’s J. Wayne Reitz Union – crossroads of the
university. Built at a cost of $4 million, our facility measures
100 x 200 feet and contains 15,700 sq. ft. of productive
space.
The Center
This is the CRC Front Entrance.
More than 120,000 visitors pass thru our main entrance each year.
Here you will find postings of the day’s interviews, upcoming events
and workshops for the week and other vital information in this area.
Main Hall
The CRC’s main hall offers easy access to the Center’s facilities and
services. Airport-style signage provides clear directions to key areas,
and the light, airy nature of the facility’s design entices visitors to
make themselves at home.
Front Desk
Proceeding down the hall, you will find additional information postings.
The student service counter serves as a reception area for questions
about CRC services. Employers check-in at this counter prior to
conducting on-campus interviews.
CRC Library
The CRC Library has nearly 3,000 books on occupations,
salary levels, job trends, resumes, interviewing and
employer information. More than 70,000 people visited the
Library each year.
CRC Library
A variety of periodicals are available for student review. The area to
the left of the periodicals houses two offices for our counseling
graduate assistants.
Visitors can view career-related videotapes or collect informational
handouts on to the fight of the periodical wall.
CRC Library
The library serves as the reception area for Career Counseling
and the central work space for Career Ambassadors. These
highly trained student assistants support career advising,
campus outreach, and mock interview activities.
CRC Library
The east side of the library houses job-search related
publications, professional development books, regional
directories, computers, employer files and job
applications.
Counseling
Students seeking career-decision making assistance, can
schedule an appointment with a career counselor. After signing
in, students can wait in this area. Online assessments and
career counseling are also available.
Mock Interviews
Our Face-to-Face Mock Interview services is managed by
our Career Ambassadors. These simulated interviews are
tailored to address the interviewees skill level and
industry preference.
Staff Office Corridor
Most of the staff offices are located along this hallway, which is
connected to the main hall via two reception areas. This layout gives
each staff member privacy from major traffic, but still places them near
the reception counters and their customers. A printer room is
conveniently located at each end of the hallway.
Staff Offices
Each staff member’s office is approximately 150 sq. ft., with a view
overlooking campus, and is tastefully appointed – most offices have
new furnishings since our move. Each office is equipped with a
computer and digital phone with voicemail.
Career Development Lab
Our Career Development Lab comfortably seats 42 and features the
latest audio-visual systems, including a ceiling-mounted Epson ELP-7000
LED projector, which permits display of PowerPoint© workshops, the
internet and videotapes, all with full stereo sound. Over 100 workshops
are held each fall and spring semester.
Interview Modules
The Center has two
“Interview Modules,”
each of which has
eight small and two
large interview rooms
and a reception area
which seats 12.
Employers often set
up refreshments or
preliminary screening
tables in these large
areas in support of
their on-campus
interviews.
This is one of the two-person interview rooms. All our
rooms are configured in a more informal,
“conversational style,” with a round table and 2-4
chairs. In addition to 20 interview rooms in the CRC,
we have access to 20 additional rooms in the Reitz
Union to handle employer overflow.
Employer Resource Room
This is the Employer Resource Room, sponsored by UF Student
Government. It provides a quiet location for employers to catch up on
paperwork, and has two phones, a phone/fax/copier unit, and a
computer. Materials for the taking about the CRC and UF colleges and
programs are always available
Operations Support
Housed in its own area, out of the way of traffic, is the
Center’s Operations staff, consisting of the Director, Associate
Director, Information Systems, Accountant, and Public
Relations.
Staff Meeting Room
This spacious room, courtesy of Florida Power & Light, is host to the
Center’s bi-weekly staff meetings, a variety of training activities, and
briefings and sessions with visitors from both on- and off-campus. It
seats 20, and also houses our professional development library.
Information Systems
The heart of the Center’s complex computer operations, our
equipment room was very carefully designed from the initial concept
of the building to house our growing computer & networking systems.
These multiple servers and other hardware help us handle the more
than 12 million hits per year we receive on our web site!
Employee Workroom
Our workroom has a networked copier, mail sorting and
distribution area, and space to lay out projects and
prepare outgoing mailings. It also serves as a quiet place
for staff members to take a break or relax for lunch.
