The University of Montana - Western - Professional Information Form

The professional information form is the basis for your credential or placement file after graduation. If you are an on-campus student, the professional information form is available on ~UMWdata on 'bigdawg'(N:) under Career Services. Follow these directions to access the professional form on campus:

Accessing the Professional Form on campus

Log on to any computer on campus connected to the Bulldog network

Double click on “My Computer”
Double click on “~UMWdata on ‘bigdawg’ (N:)”
Double click “Career Services” folder
Double Click “Professional Form”
This is a “read-only” form and you cannot type on it at this point. Save to your "Z" drive.
Once you have saved the form to your Z drive, open the file and follow the directions.

Directions for Professional Form

On the first page, please fill in your personal information such as name, address, major/minor, activities, and employment objective.
On the second page, please list your “special skills”, student teaching details, and prior work history.
On the third page, please list a summary of your collegiate work in alphabetical and numerical order. Elementary education majors must list all degree courses under this section as shown in this example: Elementary Professional Form. Secondary education majors must list degree field and education courses as shown in this example: Secondary Professional Form . Leave the section about student teaching blank and include all classes you are taking and have yet to take (including student teaching) in the course summary.

Save the professional form as necessary for your own usage as you will update the information in this file throughout your career, especially the address and work history sections.

Print out a hard-copy of the form, and bring or send the copy, along with a copy of the disk to the Career Services office. We can accept MS Word attachments if emailed to umwcareers@umwestern.edu or you may register online at MyInterfase.com. Do not FAX the form - it will be too “grainy” to photocopy.
