What are the Career and Internship Connections (CICs)? Why should I go?
-
CICs are career events in NYC, DC, Chicago, Boston and San Francisco 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 11/26).
-
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.

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, San Francisco, 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.
