A lot of times working in a career center is like swimming upstream; it’s tiring having to constantly illustrate how valuable our services are and make students believe us!

So in the great words of Hansel (he’s still so hot right now), “The results are in, amigo! What’s left to ponder?” Results from NACE’s 2010 Student Survey show: The likelihood of a student getting a job offer increased with the frequency of […]

by Brad Karsh: President and Founder, JobBound Although the task of finding a job may seem too tough to tackle, it’s really quite simple when you compare it to one of your favorite pastimes: dating. Just like burping out the alphabet or talking to your ex at the dinner table are sure-fire ways to blow a date, there are some things you just don’t want to do when trying to find a job. I found that if you apply these dating guidelines to the job search, you’re sure to find a dream job that’s a perfect fit for you. Don’t […]

On-Campus Recruiting begins today so we thought we’d share some tips on dressing for an interview. Although certain qualifications and skills are mandatory for many jobs, the interview can often make or break one’s chances. First impressions say a lot, and what interviewers absorb in the first 30 seconds is what they are most likely to remember. You’ll want that first impression to be not just a good one, but also a great one. Not only do you need to keep a cool composure, be confident in your skills and know all about the organization you are interviewing with, you […]

Give yourselves a pat on the back for making a great impression on employers, and then, get back to work! 🙂 It’s important to follow-up with employers after a career fair, and it’s a step in the job search process that students are often unaware they should take.
