Overview of Services for Students and Alumni
MU CareerTRAK
This comprehensive online system manages on campus recruiting activities,
internship and full-time position openings, and resumes for referral to employers.
Campus Recruiting: Internships and Full-time
Each semester more than 1500 interviews take place in the Career Services
Center between employers and students for full-time employment and
internships. Employers represent business, industry, and government.
Employers from education, health, social services, publishing, advertising
and related fields participate to a lesser extent in campus recruiting. These
employers often recruit students through career fairs, resume referral, and
internships. Students in all fields are encouraged to register with CSC as many employers that visit
campus are looking at candidates from all fields and disciplines.
Interview Dates
First semester: October through November
Second semester: February through April
Students must register through MU CareerTRAK to sign up for interviews using the online system.
Check out who is coming to campus this semester by searching the Campus Events Calendar and
looking under Career Services.
Special Groups
Campus recruiting is only one recruiting tool used by employers. Students must also utilize a variety of
other job search strategies to ensure finding employment. Undergrads are encouraged to watch for
publicity about the following opportunities and to attend orientation sessions as well.
•
Public accounting firms do most of their interviewing in the fall. (December, May and August
graduates should all interview during fall semester.)
•
Co-op interviews in the College of Engineering are coordinated through the Co-op Office. Most of
those interviews are held in the Career Services Center.
•
Internship interviews are held during the fall and spring recruiting seasons and are also
coordinated by the Career Center.

Resume Referral
While hundreds of firms visit campus each year, there are many that call to request resumes and/or
send job vacancies. Resumes of graduating students and alumni actively seeking employment are
accessible to employers who have professional career opportunities available. The MU CareerTRAK
program allows the CSC staff to generate resumes electronically according to very specific employer
criteria. Last year over 38,000 resumes were referred to employers.
