Finding a place of service in the Body of Christ is your ultimate goal as a student.  The job-finding process, however, can be time consuming and frustrating.  Regent University Library has information resources that can point you in the right direction, no matter where you are headed. This guide brings together some of these resources for various career areas, pastoral ministry, youth ministry, chaplaincy, missions, and teaching.  This guide also includes a section on further schooling resources if this is what you have in mind.

       The focus of this guide is on practical career issues such as job search strategy, denominational information, ordination associations, resume preparation, and school addresses.

        Some of these resources are located in the Career Resources area of Regent University Library.  You will find other items listed here in the Reference section or in the general collections for checkout.  Still others are directly on the World-Wide-Web.  Be sure to consult the "Careers and Job Hunting" section of the Religion Resources page.   

        Ask at the Library Reference Desk if you would like assistance locating any of this material.
