Is the on-campus recruiting program the only way for a senior to search for a permanent position?
Every student is encouraged to develop an individualized job search strategy, as organizations in some fields, such as nonprofit, health care, and publishing do not normally use campus recruiting. Students should learn about the hiring processes of the fields that interest them, as different fields have different timelines for hiring permanent employees. Counselors in Career Services can lead students to resources to search for positions as well as create networking opportunities with professionals in the student’s field of interest. Career Services has a database called the Alumni Careers Network of over 4,000 alumni in a diverse range of career fields who have volunteered to talk to students about what they do and provide career advice. The Career Services website also lists links to job search websites in a wide variety of occupational fields.
