eRecruiting Speedbump

If you have logged into eRecruiting in the last week, you will notice that you were prompted to update some of your profile information. We will be resetting this “speedbump” each quarter to help you keep yourself as up to date as possible. It is vital that you update your status (class standing) and other information in the system so that your resume can be sent to companies when they request resumes to identify potential candidates. One of the new profile features you may have noticed is “Job Intent”. This function allows you to tell us what you are looking for at this time, and will help us to include your resume in the proper resume referrals to companies.

Resumes, Resume Books and Resume Referrals

You’ve probably heard a lot of talk about the need to get your resume updated and uploaded into eRecruiting as soon as possible. Without having an updated resume in the system, you risk missing the opportunity to be seen and seriously considered by many companies. In the next two weeks, we will begin sending resume referrals to companies who are planning to attend the Fall Career Fair. Make sure your primary resume in the system is the most current one you have. Resume Referrals are our way of assisting you to gain exposure with interested companies. There have also been many questions about the Resume Books feature of eRecruiting. We do not use this feature of the system, so when you update your resume and profile, you do not have to worry about publishing it to a Resume Book.
