Our new on-line, web-based system allows students to search for positions, post resumes and cover letters for employers to view. The system also allows students to apply for positions on-line. Students who up-load a resume to the site will be included in candidate searches by employers and by the Career Services Office. Students can keep track of and manage their job search activities as well.
Once a student is registered, they can up-date their profile every term or year, add new resumes, delete old ones, and stay current with programs such as workshops and on-campus recruiters; and events such as career days and the Etiquette Dinner offered by the Career Services Office at Fort Lewis College.
