Recruiters from private companies and professional schools frequently contact the Career Services Office to schedule their campus visits. There are other sources of information about job opportunities. Job announcements sent to the members of the Biology faculty are posted on the bulletin boards near faculty offices. Several periodicals available in the Science Library often contain announcements of employment opportunities. For instance, the weekly journal, Science, publishes a list of research career opportunities and pre-doctoral fellowships.
Local newspapers are another source of employment information.
Many students take the first step in seeking employment by sending their resumes directly to companies or institutions of interest to them. Peterson s Annual Guide to Careers and Employment for Engineers, Computer Scientists, and Scientists is a valuable reference and is available at the Office of Career Services. The Office of Alumni Affairs in Bosworth Hall maintains a list of alumni who have expressed interest in discussing careers and employment opportunities. Finally, it helps to let some faculty members know of your job interests. The faculty often become aware of employment or fellowship opportunities informally and can call your attention to suitable ones that may come along.
