Apply for Employment Vacancies
A key step in your job search: identify a strong list of potential employers. While networking is the most effective way to accomplish this, applying for advertised vacancies is also critical to your success. Some employers come to Hiram to interview candidates for their vacancies. These campus recruiting visits will be advertised to all qualified seniors. Read our newsletters!
Employers post jobs for new college graduates on their own websites, in college employment databases like our Hiram CareerNet, at Career Fairs like OFIC CareerFest and on general employment databases. To conduct an effective job search, you will want to use all these resources to identify a list of potential jobs.
