- Campus Recruitment
-
Alumni interested in interviewing on campus must register with ResumeBank and attend a Campus Recruitment Workshop. Generally, employers who are seeking entry-level candidates use campus recruitment. Recent alumni, however, are regarded by many employers as entry-level candidates. Alumni with more than two years job experience may find that opportunities via this venue are limited. Contact information for any company recruiting on campus will be provided to alumni upon request. If you have questions regarding the campus recruitment service, please contact a career counselor at UCS.
