Helping you become more knowledgeable about your career development is just one of the ways Franklin makes it personal. The Center for Career Development offers students a Workforce Ready Toolbox to assist you in making your next career move.
The most frequent question the center gets is, “What do you think about my resume?” And at the core, it is not what someone thinks about your resume, but is your resume serving you well in the advancement of your career and/or your strategic job search? A resume is a summary of your work history, skills, and education. A resume should be crafted and edited for each specific position for which you apply, and it should be just one or two pages long. News flash, your resume really isn’t about you. Your resume is about how you can fulfill the needs of the employer, easing their pain.
The team in the Center for Career Development is available to assist you with your resume, cover letters, job search strategy, interview skills and post-interview. To submit your resume for review – please email your resume, a little about what you’re looking for, and some of the challenges you’ve faced to resumereview@franklin.edu

Adjunct Teaching FAQS for Franklin Graduates
I loved my experience at Franklin. Can I get my graduate degree at Franklin, and teach when I’m done?
Great, and thank you so much for thinking of Franklin – that is awesome! At the same time, it’s important to keep in mind that Franklin can only hire so many Franklin graduates to teach in the classroom. It’s important for an academic program to have faculty teaching from diverse backgrounds, educational experiences, and varying professional credentials. Franklin works diligently to maintain balance. In order to do that, Franklin must limit the number of Franklin graduates hired as adjuncts. Similarly, Franklin must limit the number of graduates from other institutions as well. We wouldn’t want all teaching faculty to come from the same institution, Franklin or otherwise.
The same thing holds true, for say a neighbor like Columbus State. They can only have ‘so many’ Franklin graduates on their teaching roster – as they are looking for a diverse experience for their students.
So, do not be alarmed if you need to look a little further for adjunct teaching opportunities. Consider those institutions that might not have a number of Franklin grads on the roster. You want to network, network, and network.
I could teach a number of different courses, but which ones ‘could’ I teach at Franklin?
Per accreditation guidelines, an adjunct must have completed 18 graduate credit hours in a specific field/discipline to teach at the undergraduate level. Now there are exceptions to this, specifically with industry related ‘alternative criteria’ – I mean, consider if Bill Gates wanted to teach Microsoft Excel?! But, we share this to offer perspective and set reasonable expectations.
For more information, please refer to the ‘Determining Qualified Instructional Faculty Guidelines’.
The goal, is that all undergraduate students will be 'Workforce Ready'. Students will be encouraged to create a 'Workforce Ready Toolbox'. The current workplace demands a unique set of tools to be successful in being promoted internally or seeking a new position.
The 'Workforce Ready Toolbox' starts with a Resume, moves into tailored cover letters, skills to conduct a strategic job search, create an effective LinkedIn profile, and prepare for interviews.
Students are encouraged to craft a resume with the knowledge that a resume is a living document that requires tailoring for each position they apply to as well as adding new skills, knowledge, and education.
Students can submit their resume for review by sending it to resumereview@franklin.edu.
In that email, please share
Resumes will be reviewed by someone in The Center for Career Development and returned with comments and recommendations, in 3-4 days. Students are encouraged to return the next draft for another look. At that time, students will receive instruction on how to tailor their resume for a particular position and to work in an Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Following that next draft, the resume will be forwarded to a field specific external reviewer (if needed). From there, the resume will be returned to the student.
Students will have access to examples and encouraged to draft their cover letters to compliment their resume and to highlight his/her/their alignment with the position description.
Students will learn how to
Students will be able to learning techniques on how to conduct a strategic job search utilizing available resources.

Benefits of an Internship
Considerations about an Internship
Where to Search for Internships
For more tips regarding Internships, visit here.
Description: An internship is a unique learning experience that integrates academic studies with practical work experience.
Process: To start the process, the student should check with an Academic Advisor for the most up-to-date list of programs for which internships are available. Generally, a student may participate in any internship as long as the prerequisites for that internship are met. For example, a BSAD student may apply for a marketing internship as long as the student meets the prerequisite requirements for the marketing internship. An international student on an F-1 visa is eligible only for an internship in their major area or graduate coursework.
With proper completion of requirements, a student may earn between one (1) and four (4) hours of major area, university elective or graduate coursework credit, as determined by the Academic Supervisor (program chair or designee). (See page 21 for guidelines in determining the number of credit hours that can be awarded.) Tuition is charged based on the standard undergraduate or graduate tuition rate. Undergraduate internships are listed as a 15-week course. Graduate internships are listed as 6- or 12-week courses. The internship dates are not required to align exactly with the trimester schedule.
Definition of Terms
Requirements: Prerequisites vary depending on the internship field. To apply for an internship, undergraduate and graduate students are required to have a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 and 3.0, respectively. See individual prerequisites in the current Academic Bulletin under Course Descriptions. The Academic Supervisor may choose to adjust the requirements to accommodate a student with extenuating circumstances.
Throughout the internship the student is encouraged to treat all people with respect without regard to age, religion, race, ethnicity, color, national origin, ancestry, immigration status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital or familiar status, disability, veteran or military status and be committed to following ethical guidelines and laws concerning confidentiality and professional practice as prescribed by the employer.
Getting Started: The student will consult his/her Academic Advisor for guidance through the process of applying for an internship. The Academic Advisor will also provide contact information for the Academic Supervisor who will be responsible for the student during the internship.
At least one week prior to beginning internship employment, the student must have completed all steps required for approval as described in this Internship Manual and be registered for internship credit. Credit will not be given for (a) work begun before approval of the internship, (b) work already completed or (c) for current employment.
Step 1: The student consults with an Academic Advisor in Student Services to discuss internship credit, prerequisites, and GPA requirements. The Academic Advisor will provide the student with a copy of this Internship Manual. The student should read this Internship Manual carefully.
An international student in F-1 status with questions about Curricular Practical Training (CPT) must consult with an International Advisor at the Office of International Services and Programs (OISP) regarding eligibility and immigration status requirements. (See Appendix F).
Step 2: The student acquires an internship. Suggested resources include:
Step 3: The student meets with the Internship Supervisor (the person who will directly supervise the student’s work at the internship site) to:
Step 4: The student schedules a meeting or phone call with the Program Chair to discuss the internship application and determine eligibility of the internship for credit. (The Program Chair may designate another professor as the Academic Supervisor for the internship.) Provide the Program Chair (or designee) with the Internship Application & Learning Agreement (Appendix A).
Step 5: The student submits the signed Internship Application & Learning Agreement (Appendix A) to an Academic Advisor who will register the student for the internship. An international student on an F-1 visa must also apply for Curricular Practical Training (Appendix F) with the Office of International Services and Programs (OISP) in order to request authorization to work off-campus. The Curricular Practical Training Application must be submitted to OISP at least one week before employment is scheduled to begin.
Step 6: The student begins the internship. During the internship, the student:
Step 7: The student completes the internship and requests a formal Performance Review with the Internship Supervisor. The evaluation form (Appendix C) is used to facilitate this discussion and once completed, the form becomes part of the Internship Portfolio.
Step 8: The student schedules a final meeting with the Academic Supervisor to review the completion of all requirements as documented in the Internship Portfolio.
Step 9: The Academic Supervisor evaluates the Internship Portfolio, discusses learning accomplished, and completes the Academic Supervisor Evaluation of the Student form (Appendix D). Each program may have additional requirements such as an oral or written presentation. Upon completion of this meeting, the Academic Supervisor submits the final grade for the student’s internship.
For specific assignment guidelines and complete details on how the internship will be evaluated and credit awarded, please refer to the Evaluation section of the Internship Syllabus. (Appendix G)
