On Campus Interviews:

The Career Center provides employers with professional recruiting opportunities: online recruiting through InterviewTrak, professional interview suite with six private interview rooms, greeting area, internet connections, private entrance and private phone.  Reservations may be placed with the Recruiting Coordinator. 

 

Information Sessions:

Companies may choose to hold an informational session at a convenient location on campus or other local facility the evening before interviews or several weeks prior to interviews.  These arrangements provide employers with the opportunity to meet students in a less formal environment.  The Recruiting Coordinator will assist with the location, reservations and on-line publicity for these sessions.

 

Faculty and Classroom Interaction:

We offer the employer many opportunities to interact with our students and faculty such as employer hosted faculty luncheons or participation in classroom discussions.

 

Employers may host luncheons for faculty and university administrators in one of two conference rooms located in Lyceum or in a private room of the Student Union.  These informal yet elegant settings offer employers an opportunity to meet our faculty and some of the invited administrators.  Employers may utilize this setting for presentations about their company and career opportunities available for our students.  The Recruiting Coordinator will assist with reservations and other arrangements for the luncheons.

 

Employers may wish to participate in classroom activities or lectures.  Faculty and staff from various fields of study welcome your professional perspective that reinforces the academic environment.  Please check with the Recruiting Coordinator for arrangement information.

 

Career Day

The Career Center provides employers with an excellent opportunity to meet students from freshmen through graduate standing during Career Day.  This event is held in a central location on campus once each semester.  Currently, over 100 employers participate and approximately 1,000 students attend the event each semester.  Employers are invited to sponsor Career Day activities and receive recognition in advertising used to promote Career Day.  This includes radio ads, banners, newspaper articles and ads, Career Center web page, at Career Day, and recognition in the Career Center Interview Suite Lobby.

Career Opportunity Listing

An employer may fax, mail, or email current career opportunities that are available in their company.  The recruiting staff posts openings in the Career Center where the student can view the job.  These postings are also distributed to professors in related departments for announcement in their classes and listing on their student list-serve.  We also offer the opportunity to post the position to MonsterTrak and Ole Miss Alumni.  To post positions with MonsterTrak, simply go to www.monstertrak.com and click on employers.  From there, click “Post a Job.”  All of our students and many of our alumni have access to view jobs posted on MonsterTrak.

 

Career Workshops

Employers are often asked to conduct workshops that are open to the entire student body.  Suggested workshop topics include: “First Day on the Job,” “The Successful Candidate,” “Resumes that Work,” or “Buzz Words for Our Business.”  These workshops provide students an insight into the professional world and provide employers with an opportunity to introduce their company and company culture to a diverse student population.  If you would like to participate in this, please contact the Recruiting Coordinator.

 

Campus Advertising

Employers are encouraged to advertise their campus activities and employment opportunities in the student newspaper, The Daily Mississippian.  This publication is distributed Monday-Friday throughout the campus during the academic year.  Another form of advertising is through company flyers and posters that can be posted in student populated areas such as the Student Union, the Turner Center , and various academic buildings.  The Recruiting Coordinator will arrange to distribute your flyers and posters throughout the campus.

 

CAREER LINKS Alumni Network

CAREER LINKS is a cooperative effort between the Career Center and the office of Alumni Affairs.  The program is designed to provide firsthand career information to students by giving them opportunities to communicate with individuals who work in their areas of interest or preferred geographic locations.  We encourage Ole Miss alumni, parents, friends, and employers to sign up as a mentor.  You may limit the number of contacts you receive from students and the method of contact such as email, phone, or postal service.  If you are interested in this additional service, please contact Josh Whelan, Alumni Career Services Graduate Assistant, or visit www.career.olemiss.edu/CAN/default.asp and complete the short registration profile.  This is not a job referral service.
