‘E-recruiting’ services make job hunting easier for UTM students


It’s getting closer to graduation time and most students are unaware of the roads that lie ahead of them.

UTM offers an online Web site on which students can post their resume. UTM also helps its students by listing job openings and internships that employers are able to put on this Web site.

There are currently 382 students’ resumes that are on this Web site from Martin and 475 employee positions that are ready to be filled. This year alone there have been over 502 jobs posted on this Web site.

How successful is it? Employment Information Services Administrative Assistant April Boals said, “One student alone has already had eight interviews with different employers.”

This proves that this service can be beneficial to students if they will get involved with it.

Another question that crosses the mind is: How much does it cost to have your interview posted?

“There is not a fee that is charged to the student or facility, but rather the school has to pay to be a member of it,” Boals said.

This Web site is full of opportunities, which include jobs other than those in the local vicinity. This Web site includes several jobs that are posted all over the United States.

One of the most beneficial things about this e-recruiting service is that it is easy to get involved in. Simply log on to www.erecruiting.com, and then complete a registration profile.

Once you have completed this you can start searching through jobs and apply for the ones that suit you.

If you want to find a job in a different manner, another important date to keep in mind is Thursday, March 1 from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m., which is Career day. Employers set their tables out and have job recruiting booths set up in the UC.

The Student Employment Center offers a place for employers to interview their prospects if they are interested in them on Friday mornings.

If you have any questions, contact the Employment Information Center at 881-7729 or 881-7740.
