What are the Career and Internship Connections (CICs)? Why should I go?

• CICs are career events in NYC, DC, Chicago, Boston and Los Angeles held over the January break.
• The events have a morning career fair open to all undergraduates from the consortium schools and afternoon pre-arranged interviews (that you apply for AHEAD of time - by 12/1).
• Many of these employers will not be traveling to your home campus, but will be happy to meet with you in their local city. These events are an excellent opportunity to network and interview face-to-face with prospective internship and full-time employers.

What's the process? How is the day organized?

• The days are broken up into TWO parts - A morning career fair (9:30-11:30am) open to all students from consortium schools and afternoon interviews (12:30-5pm).
• Apply for pre-screened interviews by uploading and submitting your resume to individual jobs by Monday, December 1, 2008 via the CIC Web site, http://cic.erecruiting.com/.
• During the morning career fair, ALL students (with or without interviews) can connect with employers to obtain information about their organization and available internships and full-time job opportunities.
• Some employers may leave room on their interview schedules and add students based on their morning interactions.

How do students register for this event?

Step 1: Select "Create an account" (token available from your Career Center).

Step 2: Register for an account and complete your profile.

Step 3: Upload a resume, cover letter, and other required documents! Hover over the “documents” tab and select “Upload a document"

Step 4: Search and apply for positions: Once you’ve uploaded a resume, you can search for specific positions using the Employer Search function. Or do “one-click searches” and search by city (i.e. Boston, NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C).

Step 5: Apply for Positions! At the bottom of the job description will be a button marked “Apply.” Clicking this button will either allow you to select which uploaded documents to attach to your application, or let you know which documents you are missing. Once uploaded documents are selected, your application will be submitted and you can track your application status under the “Applications” tab at the top of the homepage. Applying for positions will connect your resume and other required documents to the position for the employer to review.
