Resume Referral Policy

There are two types of resume referral: Employer Requested and Students/Alumni Requested.

Employer Requested Referral:

At the request of an employer, the Office will forward resumes that match specific academic qualifications or areas of career interest. [You select specific career interest areas (job targets) while completing your "Registration" screen on Career Central Network.] You will be contacted directly by the employer if selected for an interview. NOTE: You will receive written notification from this office each time your resume has been forwarded from Career Services.

Students/Alumni Requested Referral:

You may request that your resume be forwarded to any employer of your choice. It is the responsibility of the students/alumni to provide the following information:1) the title of the position, 2) the name of the contact person, and 3) the complete mailing address, or fax number if requested by the employer, of the organization. The Office will forward twenty (20) sets of a student's credentials at no charge (for up to one semester after graduation). For each subsequent transmittal over twenty (20), the student will be charged one dollar ($1.00) per request to defray the costs of reproduction and postage. Alumni may request ten (10) sets of their credentials be referred before the one dollar ($1.00) fee is charged. Recent graduates are not considered Alumni until one semester after graduation.

Exception: Requests from employers will be honored at no charge to the students/alumni, regardless of the number of prior requests.
