Interested in On Campus Interviews and Resume Referrals to Employers?
Students who would like to participate in the on campus interviewing process and/or have their resume included in the Career Connections system for referrals to employers, are required to register with the Engineering Career Center. This registration process and small one time fee provides students with full access to the Career Connections system.
The Career Connections system is accessible 24/7 from any computer with an Internet connection. Registered students utilize this system to request and schedule interviews. Also registered students upload resumes into the Career Connections system, where the resumes are then either viewed by or referred to employers who are seeking candidates for vacant positions.
All School of Engineering students have free limited access to the Career Connections system, i.e. all students can view internship, co-op, and job postings.
Most students who are seeking a job, internship, or co-op position will probably benefit from registering with the Engineering Career Center. A student who ultimately plans to attend Graduate School in an Engineering or Computer Science related field can also gain an advantage from additional opportunities for finding an internship or co-op position.
Drop by the Engineering Career Center in 1001 Eaton Hall anytime between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to register. The registration process only takes about 10 minutes and no appointment is needed.
The earlier in the school year a student registers, the greater the benefit. Some companies only conduct on campus interviews in the fall of the year, so students who plan to register, are highly encouraged to complete the registration process by early September. There are students who wrap up their internship or job search as early as mid-October for positions that won't start until May.
There is a one time fee of $25 to register with the Engineering Career Center, which provides full access to our Career Connections software system until six months following a student's graduation from the KU School of Engineering.
Students may pay the registration fee either by cash or check in the Career Center at 1001 Eaton Hall, or they can pay through the University of Kansas Optional Campus Fees program. Products and services purchased through the Optional Campus Fees program will be billed with students' tuition.
Each student has the choice as to which optional products or services he or she purchases, (examples include the All Sports Package, KU on Wheels Bus Pass, as well as Job Search services). Optional Campus Fees are only available during New Student Orientation for new students and during the main enrollment period for returning students. Students interested in paying their registration fee through this program should simply check the box next to "Job Search Engineering".
