Overview of Services for Students and Alumni

MU CareerTRAK This comprehensive online system manages on campus recruiting activities, internship and full-time position openings, and resumes for referral to employers.

Campus Recruiting: Internships and Full-time Each semester more than 1500 interviews take place in the Career Services Center between employers and students for full-time employment and internships. Employers represent business, industry, and government. Employers from education, health, social services, publishing, advertising and related fields participate to a lesser extent in campus recruiting. These employers often recruit students through career fairs, resume referral, and internships. Students in all fields are encouraged to register with CSC as many employers that visit campus are looking at candidates from all fields and disciplines.

Interview Dates First semester: October through November Second semester: February through April

Students must register through MU CareerTRAK to sign up for interviews using the online system. Check out who is coming to campus this semester by searching the Campus Events Calendar and looking under Career Services. Special Groups Campus recruiting is only one recruiting tool used by employers. Students must also utilize a variety of other job search strategies to ensure finding employment. Undergrads are encouraged to watch for publicity about the following opportunities and to attend orientation sessions as well. • Public accounting firms do most of their interviewing in the fall. (December, May and August graduates should all interview during fall semester.) • Co-op interviews in the College of Engineering are coordinated through the Co-op Office. Most of those interviews are held in the Career Services Center. • Internship interviews are held during the fall and spring recruiting seasons and are also coordinated by the Career Center. Internship and Full-time Position Openings Notice of job postings are available both in hard copy in the CSC Resource Center and on the Internet.
