On-Campus Employer Contact Opportunities Career Services provides several activities through which you can make contact with potential employers on campus. Several career fairs are scheduled throughout the academic year. Some employers schedule on-campus interviews to discuss opportunities with students. Some seek summer or break employees or interns. To interview for full-time opportunities requiring completion of a degree, you must be registered with Career Services.
Most organizations come to campus during the fall and winter quarters.
Career Services co-sponsors alumni networking receptions or programs with several of the colleges. Alumni who come to such events are interested in sharing information with current students about what they are doing, how they found their positions, preparation needed to work in their fields and other helpful information. The Ohio University library maintains both the Standard and Poor's Guide to Corporations and Dun and Bradstreet's Directory. These publications contain information about many corporations and are cross-referenced by geographic area and product or service. Each profession has its own trade or professional association to which practitioners in that field belong.
