What Can You Do With an English Major?
“Being an English major taught me to be fearless,” says Lauren Culley ‘05. That fearlessness helped her found the wildly popular Columbus-based coffee shop, Fox in the Snow.
Molly Becker ’13 stresses that what she learned in her English major, clarity and concision, is important in any work setting, but it’s likely especially helpful in her work with the editorial team for the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Sarah Bach ’21 strongly believes the English major prepared her to enter a competitive work force—not only did she learn the writing and analysis skills that helped her land a job, she also learned the rhetorical concepts that allow her to excel in her SEO work.

Keep Calm and Get a Job
311 Denney Hall, Tuesday, January 27 from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
We know that the job search can be stressful, so to help you through it, the Department of English and ASC Career Success are teaming up to bring you Keep Calm and Get a Job!
This event is geared to help any humanities major both prepare for your job search, and keep calm as you make your way through it. For this informal, drop-in event, we’ll have career help stations to help you craft or edit your resume, and kick-start your job or internship search. This event will be particularly helpful in preparing for our upcoming Humanities Career Exploration Fair, as it will give you the opportunity to talk through your resume, career goals, and questions that you might want to ask employers at the March event!
Plus, we’ll have resources to help you keep calm, from coloring pages to information from Counseling and Consultation Services!
RSVPs are not required, but we encourage you to RSVP via Handshake to help us get a head count for snacks.
