Job Search Sites for Students
With so many web sites promoting employment opportunities, it can be challenging and at times overwhelming to know where to begin a search online. The links below offer a starting point.
A good job search strategy utilizes diverse methods. Networking and applying to organizations directly remain among the most effective strategies. For assistance with your job search, please call to schedule an appointment or stop by the Career Development Center.
COLLEGE CENTRAL NETWORK
West Chester University uses College Central Network as its official resume and job posting service for career-related jobs and internships. Students and alumni may create free accounts to access job postings, resume critique and referral services, and participate in on-campus recruiting: http://www.collegecentral.com/wcupa/
JOB BINDERS - PART-TIME & SUMMER LISTINGS
Employers fax and email job postings to the career center daily, many of which are for part-time, summer, and internship listings, in addition to full-time jobs.
If you are looking for a job in the West Chester community, be sure to stop by the office to look at the additional listings in our binders.
Employment in Walking Distance is a list of companies and organizations all within walking distance of campus that have hired WCU students for jobs during the school year; some may also be available to internship and full-time hires.
