Job Search Strategy

On Campus Interviews

Each year a significant number of employers come onto campus to hold interviews with students who are preparing to enter the workforce. We encourage you to take full advantage of these opportunities. Even if you are not actually hired through an on-campus interview, the experience in itself can be valuable in preparing you for interviews you may later obtain off campus.

On-campus interviews are open to students and alumni who are registered with UCS.


Candidate Referral Service

Many employers who are hiring but are not interviewing on-campus request that UCS send them resumes of qualified students. These requests come from employers of all sizes, including non-profits and those who may not have enough openings to justify the expense of on-campus recruiting.


Navigating Job Offers

This may be the first offer for employment that you have ever received. If you are one of the lucky ones, you may be trying to compare multiple offers. In either case, it is important to know how to evaluate a job offer.


Part Time Jobs

Part-time employment can be a great way to develop your resume, earn income and learn about professional workplace behaviors.  Many UNC students work part-time jobs during the academic year both on- and off-campus.


Credential Files

Not everyone needs a credentials file.  However, if you are applying to multiple graduate or professional schools, Interfolio can make the application process much easier and less overwhelming. 


Styled for Success Stipend

The Styled for Success Stipend assists students with limited economic resources prepare for their entry into the job market.  This stipend is available to help with the cost of interview attire and/or travel to interviews.
