Professional Organizations are an excellent source of job leads. Be sure to involve yourself in your local chapter of the professional organizations of your choice. Most have their own web sites listing job opportunities at companies represented in the group, and many have announcements about new opportunities during the meeting. Don’t forget the national parent of the local chapter – they often have extensive websites with national opportunities!
On-Campus Opportunities are specific times when employers come to UNCG’s campus to do practice interviews, career fairs, information tables, interviewing and recruiting.
