UNLV CareerLink
Student Login Guide
UNLV CareerLink is an excellent online recruiting system for students and alumni. You can search for full-time jobs, internships, and part-time positions; participate in on-campus recruiting; include your resume in the online resume books; and see who's attending the next career fair!
- UNLV Students: If you are registered for the current semester, or within the three month period after graduation, your "username" and "password" will be your Student ID number (starts with a capital "L", then nine digits - not your social security number).
- Alumni Association Members: You must be a UNLV graduate and have an active membership. Your "username" and "password" are your member number.
User Instructions
Use the navigation bar on the top of the UNLV CareerLink page:
- My Profile: Complete all fields as accurately as possible (some are required). Your information is kept private; demographic information you supply may be used by UNLV Career Services in reports and/or to discover needs of users, without identifying specific students. Once you register your information can be updated under these Tabs:
- Personal Information: Your email address will be used to send you notifications and reminders related to your job searches.
- Academic Info: This information (graduation date, major, etc.) is used by the system to automatically screen for jobs and On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) interviews, when specified by employers, so please keep it current!
- Privacy: You can choose not to receive automatically generated email from UNLV CareerLink, and to remove your primary resume for the Resume Books, which are searchable by approved employers.
- Internships: Manage your internship program.
- Password: Change your password from the default (your Student ID#).
- My Resumes: To be able to sign up for OCR interviews, apply for job/internship postings through the system, and/or be included in the Resume Books, you must upload at least one resume into UNLV CareerLink:
- Create your documents (resumes, cover letters, etc.) outside of UNLV CareerLink, and save in Microsoft Word format.
- Click the “Add New” button to upload, and choose the document type.
- The first resume you upload will be designated your “default" resume and be automatically included in the searchable Resume Book database for use by approved employers hiring for their own organizations.
- You can change your Default Resume when you upload more resumes – just click the “Default Resume” button for the one you want to be used.
- You can remove your resume from searches by using the "Privacy" tab under “My Profile".
- You may upload up to 10 resumes, cover letters, and other documents. Do not include personal information like Social Security numbers on your default resumes, and only include on other resumes if required (e.g., government positions).
