The nail-biting wait between submitting a resume for a job, and finding out if you ve been chosen for an interview, has just gotten a little bit easier thanks to technology. Each year the SECC conducts a number of professional recruitment drives. The month of September is devoted to Accounting positions. During the drives, companies who have jobs available provide postings to the Centre.
Students attend presentations on preparing resumes and handling interviews.
They then apply for the jobs posted, and by checking the SECC homepage, they can find out if they were chosen for an interview. The homepage also allows students to check postings, and get helpful career hints. Last year, the SECC had 1,046 organizations post over 1,800 job openings. In addition to the recruitment drives and regular job postings, the Centre provides interview facilities, a career resource library, a library of information on various companies and occupations, critiques of resumes, workshops, a volunteer experience program, and a youth experience program which provides recent graduates with a subsidized work term to give them marketable, transferable skills.
