Job Market Outlook
Want your students to find out what is going on in the job market? This workshop reveals the current trends, broken down geographically, by industry, and by major.

Overview of UNLV CareerLink
One of our most valuable resources for students is our 24/7 web-based career management system. This system allows students to search for internships and career positions as well as sign up for interviews with recruiters. This workshop shows, in detail, how to maximize this system by uploading a resume into one of the many resume books or creating a job search engine.
