Ohio University's Career Services Offers Lots of Job Search Assistance

Recent college graduates have benefited from a healthy economy and favorable job market for the past few years, and experts say members of the Class of 2000 can expect more of the same good news.

As commencement draws closer, graduating seniors are taking advantage of an array of resources Ohio University provides to help in the employment search.

Career fairs are seeing record interest both from students and prospective employers. The university's Office of Career Services also offers computerized job search assistance and resume and cover letter referral services.

The computerized job search assistance program is a package of three services designed for graduating students and alumni: interview scheduling, job posting and matching services. The program utilizes a comprehensive software package called the Total Scheduling System, or TSS, which manages the three computerized services.

To help students prepare for the career fairs and improve their interview and presentation skills, Career Services offers 28 one-hour seminars during winter and spring quarters.
