Job Postings

Professional opportunities can be found on VCC Career Cluster listservs (after you subscribe) and on DoreWays where employers can post positions and schedule interviews with students on campus. To interview with employers on campus for internships and full time opportunities, you must have a DoreWays account, upload your resume and have it approved.

A job posting is basically an announcement that a company has an open position. The posting may include the preferred or required (what they would like or what they have to have) education, experience or skills.

The first step to applying for a job is to compare what you have to offer to what they want. It doesn't have to be a 100% match, but you should determine if you are a competitive candidate. The posting will help you determine how to write your resume and cover letter and potential interview questions that might be asked.

 

Additional on-line resources provided by the Career Center where you can search for professional opportunities include: Career Insider (Vault)

Company websites, aggregator sites like www.indeed.com and www.simplyhired, industry specific (i.e. engineering, healthcare, non-profit) sites, college specific sites like www.collegegrad.com also have opportunities posted.
