The Office of Human Resources offers career services to jumpstart the local job search efforts of spouses and partners of JMU’s new employees. While the program provides invaluable support in job search efforts, the university cannot guarantee job placement for family members. The success and duration of a job search will depend upon several factors, including economic factors, the candidate’s background, the time and methods the candidate dedicates to the search, and the type of position sought.

 Available services include:

• General information on employment in the region
• Referrals to networking and career development resources
• Job search information surrounding employment opportunities at local and regional employers
• Assistance with resume and interview preparation
• Guidance in applying for positions at JMU and navigating the JobLink website in accordance with JMU hiring policies and procedures
