Many professional organizations will post positions on their websites or in journals/newsletters that you can subscribe to. Most career research resources will include a listing of related professional organizations and their websites and contact information.
Often positions are posted or referred to on professionally oriented email discussion groups. Refer to the CDC Guide to Informational Interviewing on the Internet for information on identifying email discussion groups and the rules of netiquette.
Employment agencies may specialize in types of positions they place jobseekers in or may have a wider variety of placement opportunities. We suggest using only agencies whose fees are paid by the employer and that can demonstrate previous placements at organizations you are interested in. Sometimes it is beneficial to work with more than one agency at a time.
Student and alumni resumes are referred to employers and on-campus interviews are scheduled for all majors through PantherJobs. Check the PantherJobs site for more information on how to register for this service. |
