National Job Search
The Engineering Career Center has a number of resources to assist
students and alumni in their search for positions outside of Kansas
and the Kansas City metropolitan area.
Letter of Reciprocity
If you are searching for a position in a specific geographical area,
the KU Engineering Career Center will be happy to provide a letter
requesting reciprocal services from universities in the area where
you are looking. Students and alumni interested in this service
should provide the Career Center with the universities they would
like contacted as well as their basic personal information (name,
degree, major, and graduation date). Although not every university
offers reciprocal services, many will allow students from other
universities to attend their career fairs, view job postings, and
utilize their career resources library.
Engineering Alumni
There are a number of School of Engineering alumni interested in
reaching back to assist current students or in helping out alumni
looking in their geographic area. To protect the privacy of alumni
information, this search must be done in conjunction with a Career
Center staff member or career advisor. Please contact ecc@ku.edu or (785) 864-3891 to set up
a personal or telephone appointment to discuss.
KU Alumni Chapter Listings
KU
Alumni chapters are located throughout the nation and can
provide multiple opportunities to network with former Jayhawks.
Alumni chapter events typically connect KU grads of all majors
through social events and sports watch parties. These networking
opportunities can be especially effective for students who are
visiting the desired metro area over school breaks or for alumni
already living in the area.
KU Resources
Some of the print or web based resources can be helpful for
positions out of the area. The print version of the Book of Lists
for various metro areas typically provides contact information for
the top companies in the area. The Business
and Company Resource Center can be searched by geographically to
uncover certain types of companies in a particular state.
