Job Opportunity Potential

The process of applying for and securing employment can take several months. We help students and alumni take the steps they need to find the job they want.

We’ll schedule interview dates with potential employers, submit résumés of interested candidates and then create 30-minute interviews with selected individuals. Even students who don’t participate in this process will benefit from our potential employer lists, job fairs and external job resources.
