DREW UNIVERSITY

CENTER FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT

SENIOR JOB BULLETIN

NOVEMBER 2014 EDITION

Some Important Notes on DrewLink:

  • DrewLink is one of your best sources for full-time and part-time jobs. While the number of jobs is much smaller than what you will find on the big job boards (Monster, Career Builder, Idealist, etc.), the employers have targeted Drew as a talent source, because of their familiarity with Drew or past hiring success. This will give you an up-front advantage over the competition.
  • Keep checking DrewLink regularly. On average, we receive 5-7 new full-time jobs every business day.
  • Most of the full-time jobs on DrewLink state or imply that employers are looking for someone to start soon. But don’t be deterred. As we move into 2015, more and more jobs will appear with late spring starting dates, ideal for May graduates.
  • If you don’t yet have a DrewLink account, set yours up today. Log on to drew-csm.symplicity.com/students. Click on “Register” and then enter your email address and school password, “acorn.”
