  2. Students register for and will be able to submit resumes that your representatives can view ahead of time or during the event. 

  3. The system allows you to post information and links for the students to view before speaking with your representative.  

  4. If possible, it is recommended that you have multiple representatives working at the event.

  5. More information and step-by-step instructions will be sent out to registered companies well in advance of the event.

Employer Participation Statistics

From September 2018 to September 2019 Business Career Services posted a total of 1,800 job postings for over 600 employers.

Note that the volume of job postings does not necessarily reflect the overall activity associated with recruitment by employers on campus. Many companies are far more active on their own with recruitment activities and do not specifically post their jobs on campus sites, or they provide one job posting which directs candidates to their website where a large volume of jobs exist. Our data does not necessarily reflect all the jobs available to our students, as additional jobs may be listed on company websites exclusively.
