OCS makes every effort to discover the most effective ways for students to reach these employers. A smaller on-campus recruiting program for these employers is conducted by OCS in the Spring. Many of them also reach job candidates through job fairs held throughout the year. An important word of caution regarding the listing of your class rank and percentile on your resume. Be absolutely certain that the class rank and percentile listed on your resume are exactly the same information provided to you by the Registrar's Office.
Students are often unsure whether to include their class ranks and grade point averages.
It is true that firms may use this information for screening purposes. In general, students ranked within the top third of their class should note this on their resumes. If you are not in the top half of the class, you may wish to consider omitting your rank from your resume. In addition, if you were invited to join a journal and declined, you must state that you declined. It is wise to choose your references for a particular job after you obtain information about the desired position, the place of employment, and the people who will make the hiring decision.
