Alumni: Check Career Services
Alumni now can add UTK Career Services to their job-hunting arsenal.
Not only will Career Services forward alumni resumes to employers
who list vacancies, but the office also offers a wealth of career-oriented
information at its Internet site. Job hunters have a variety of
services from which to choose, including:
- Employment listings. The JobTrak Internet Network is a national
database that lists full-time professional and educational opportunities,
as well as part-time, summer, and intern positions. Search by
type of work, geographic location, key word, company name, or
date. Many job listings, both local and national, can also be
accessed at Career Services' new Job Hotline. This service, partially
funded by the UT National Alumni Association, is available toll-free
at 1-888-JOBS UTK (562-7885).
- Workshops. Alumni may attend UT career workshops free of charge.
Topics include using the World Wide Web for a job search, professional
etiquette, interview skills, and resume writing.
- Career assessment tests. Job hunters may choose from the Myers-Briggs
Type Indicator or the Strong Interest Inventory tests for a $30
fee.
- Links. World Wide Web surfers will find lots of career-oriented
links, from career planning to company websites to international
job opportunities.
- Employer information. Alumni employers also can get into the act
by accessing student resumes, a recruiter guide, and information
on UT's 1998 Career Carnival.
