Dickinson College Career Center

The Career Center has a well-developed Recruiting Program that offers on-campus interviews, resume referrals, and off-campus recruiting events. The Recruiting Program should not be your sole source of job opportunities, but it is a good resource. Visit DickinsonConnect for a listing of recruiters coming to campus.

• On-Campus Interviews
On-campus interviews are conducted from October to early December and from early February to the end of April. The Career Center uses the DickinsonConnect system to manage our recruitment program. This systems enables employers to advertise open positions, collect resumes on-line, and arrange their interviewing schedule. The Career Center will also coordinate employer information sessions and maintain corporate files for students to research various career opportunities.

IMPORTANT: Please review the On-Campus Recruiting Policies & Procedures

• Resume Referrals
Resume Referrals works in much the same way as On-Campus Interviewing and can be utilized at any point within the academic year via the DickinsonConnect system. An employer may invite qualified candidates to their office for interviews or, if so desired, make arrangements with the Center to come to campus for a day of interviewing.
