• Step 1: Attend a PRP Orientation Workshop. Click here to view Calendar.

• Step 2: After attending an Orientation Workshop, submit a hard copy of your resume to the Associate Director for review.

• Step 3: Pick up your resume after four business days and make appropriate corrections.

Important Note Regarding Our Resume Review Policy:

If your hard copy resume has many errors, you will be notified that you are currently ineligible for PRP participation. You will also be informed that you must attend a Resume Writing Workshop as a prerequisite for participation.

After attending a resume writing workshop, you will rewrite and resubmit your resume for review. Click here to view the Career Development Workshop Calendar.

If your resume still presents major problems, you will not be permitted to continue registration procedures and your application for PRP participation will be temporarily placed on hold.

Students demonstrating difficulty with written and /or oral communication are deemed by The Career Center as not ready to successfully initiate a job search

In Person Registration For The Career Center’s Professional Recruiting Programs

• Step 5: Once your resume is approved, you must immediately return to The Career Center with five (5) copies of your approved resume to register in person.

Once you have done so, The Career Center will issue you a Professional Recruiting Programs Participation Form (.pdf file); this completed document and the five copies of your resume will serve as your registration to participate in the On-Campus Interview Program and/or the Resume Referral Program, depending on where you sign the form.

Read the participation form very carefully before signing it in either or both locations. Be sure to provide all information at the top of the form; your resume will not be sent to employers if information on your GPA or work eligibility status (citizenship, etc.) is missing.

If you sign to participate in the Resume Referral Program, and participation is entirely optional, you are thereby authorizing The Career Center to direct your resume, at its discretion, to employers, and for positions it considers to match your qualifications and preferences, as revealed on your resume.

• Your one-time signature permits The Career Center to refer your resume repeatedly, without requiring your approval each time it does so.

• Recent alumni must inform the Career Center of their interest in continuing their participation in PRP services every semester.

• Interested employers will generally contact you directly, and arrange for interviews at their locations. You can obtain information on such employers and available positions at The Career Center, but you are always urged to do your own research, over the Internet when possible.

• The Participation Form will allow you to specify individuals or employers you'd prefer not to receive your resume (your current employer, for example).

• Again, you must sign in the appropriate space on the Participation Form, or your resume cannot be referred anywhere.

If you sign to participate in the On-Campus Interview Program, you are assuming far more responsibility than is the case with the Resume Referral Program.

• You must inform yourself regarding employers scheduled to interview on campus, interview dates, sign-up deadlines, employer requirements (GPA, work eligibility status, relocation, etc.). All of this information is available at The Career Center, and most is circulated and posted elsewhere on campus.

• Check the recruiting binder at The Career Center for specific information on employer requirements, position descriptions, etc. Please do not sign up to interview with any employer without first checking the binder, or if you do not meet listed requirements.

• Sign up for interviews with particular employers by listing them on an Employer Selection Form (.pdf file); do so by the deadline indicated for each employer, and do not list any employer not appearing on the current semester's on-campus interview schedule.

• Your resume will be faxed, along with those of others signing up, to be reviewed by each employer. Employers will generally provide The Career Center the names of those selected for interviews -- their "pre-selects" -- with about one week remaining before the on-campus interview date.

• You are expected to contact or visit The Career Center early during that remaining week to ascertain whether or not you have been selected for an interview. If so, you must schedule yourself with The Career Center for an interview time.

• You should not expect The Career Center to contact you by phone or e-mail to inform you of your having been selected for an interview, or to schedule your interview appointment. If The Career Center does contact you, it is a courtesy, and usually the result of an employer's having given us very little turnaround time to schedule interviews.

• If you have not been selected for an interview, The Career Center will not be in any position to explain why you haven't been selected; nor will it allow you to contact an employer for an explanation.

• You may submit the Employer Selection Form more than once a semester, as additional employers are added to the on-campus interview schedule.
