The Career Center has resources to assist you with interviewing and planning your job search. Once you've built your resume, consider these strategies to find positions:

• Developing a Job Search Plan—Obtain guidance for performing a comprehensive, organized, thorough job search.  This document provides step by step assistance which incorporates many of the following resources.
• JobMate—Self-register for a Basic account to have access to part-time and full-time job postings, as well as internship, co-op, graduate assistantship, and seasonal positions.  Register for a Full Access account to be additionally eligible to participate in on-campus interviewing and resume referral. If you graduate in May, plan to begin interviewing early in the fall of your senior year.
• Job Fairs--The Career Center hosts several campus-wide events each year. Attending these fairs puts you in direct contact with many potential employers.  Register in JobMate to RSVP to attend a fair and to view a list of employers who are registered for upcoming fairs
• Career Library--Print resources providing job search techniques and directories of industry-specific employer contact information.
• Web Resources--Links to web pages with jobs and employer information by major, jobs by geographical location as well as resources for special populations, salary data, and sites for researching employers.
• Vault--Electronic access to employer and  industry information, and occupational profiles. Well known for inside information on large corporate employers.
• E-leads Database--An online database of over 1450 employers who have indicated that they hire undergraduate arts and sciences students
• Who Recruits at USC?--View a list of employers by college.
• Networking--Interact with professors, friends, and family who can refer you to information and job contacts in your field.
• Internal Campaigning--Working part-time, interning, or volunteering is one way to “get your foot in the door.” Employers may prefer to hire you for a full-time position once you’ve proven your worth at the part-time level.
• Direct Contact--You may choose to market yourself to an organization whether openings exist or not. This is done by sending your resume and cover letter directly to the company. Keep in mind that it may take 100 mailings to generate 5 interviews.
