Job Search Sites for Students

A good job search strategy utilizes diverse methods. Online sites provide a great starting point for employment research, but do not rely on them exclusively! Networking and applying to organizations directly remain among the most effective job search strategies. For assistance with your job search, please call to schedule an appointment or stop by the Career Development Center.

COLLEGE CENTRAL NETWORK

West Chester University uses College Central Network as its official resume and job posting service for career-related jobs and internships. Students and alumni may create free accounts to access job and internship postings, resume critique and referral services, and participate in on-campus recruiting: http://www.collegecentral.com/wcupa/

JOB BINDERS: PART-TIME, SEASONAL & SUMMER LISTINGS

Employers fax and email job postings to the career center daily, many of which are for part-time, summer, and internship listings, in addition to full-time jobs. If you are looking for a job in the West Chester community, be sure to stop by the office to look at the additional listings in our binders. Employment in Walking Distance is a directory of organizations all within walking distance of campus that have hired WCU students for jobs during the school year; some may also be available to internship and full-time hires.
