Participating in Career Fairs or Internship Fair:
Showcase your organization at one of JMU's six Career Fairs offered each year. Visit our Career Fairs page for an overview of our annual events, including Internship Fair. This page provides dates, times, locations, and contacts for each event.
Campus Advertising:
If you choose to recruit on campus, registered students can search Recruit-A-Duke for information on each organization recruiting on campus. Another effective way to promote an upcoming visit is through The Breeze, our campus newspaper. It is circulated on Monday and Thursday of each week during the academic year. You can call The Breeze Advertising Office at 540-568-6127 or view their advertising information online at www.thebreeze.org/2007/advertising.html. If you want to increase the number of resumes submitted for your position, you should advertise at least five weeks in advance of the interview date. To connect with various student organizations on our campus, please access the list of student organizations at www.jmu.edu/ucenter/sos/newclubdirectory.htm.
Presentations to Classes:
Class presentations must be scheduled well in advance so that proper arrangements may be made and the date will coincide with topics on the instructor's syllabus. Please be aware that the availability of class time is limited. To make arrangements, contact the Career & Academic Planning liaison to the major(s) you wish to address. Liaisons will contact faculty members to determine if there is a feasible opportunity.
Career Planning Workshops:
Another great way to showcase your organization is to provide a presentation on job search topics. If you have a topic that you'd like to present to students, contact us! We welcome the opportunity for you to share your expertise with our students - it can be a great part of their educational process! Examples of these career planning workshops can be found here.
Mock Interviews:
The Mock Interview Program is held various times each semester at the Sonner Interview Center. This program gives students the opportunity to practice their interview skills with employers. You can register for an all day-session (9:00 a.m. 4:15 p.m.), or half-day sessions (morning or afternoon), with lunch provided. You'll interview students and share feedback with them on what they did well and how they can improve their interview skills. You may sign up for as many days as you'd like, and you may request multiple interview rooms if needed.
Resume Round-Up:
Resume Round-Up is a day of employer resume reviews for JMU students with a western theme! This event is a wonderful complement to our Mock Interview Program and our Career Fairs.
