Simply check in the appropriate box in the Profile section, under Email/Resume Book Preferences.

Route 47 Menu

Opportunities will take you to listings submitted directly by employers for current openings. This includes on-campus recruiting information. There are new listings posted everyday so check back in this section as often as you like.

For pre-select interviews, it is suggested that you search by “Interviews for which I Qualify”, as that will only show you opportunities that match your profile. To view the full job description, click on the details link on the list of employers. To apply for an employer, simply select the “Submit Resume” button and follow the steps. If you do not see a “Submit Resume” button; check the deadline to be sure it has not passed, check your profile to be sure your information is correct including graduation date, or come by the CDO for help.
