Resumes & Documents: Posting your information on IUI Career Connection.

Once you have uploaded a resume, you will be able to apply online to positions and interviews posted on the site. Please note: All new resumes must be approved by the Office of Professional Development. When a new resume is uploaded, it is sent to OPD for approval. Students will receive a reply stating whether the resume was approved/disapproved, typically within 48 hours of submission. If your resume is disapproved, you will receive an email with suggestions. Once you make the changes, upload your resume, and it will be reviewed again.

  1. Upload a Resume: Once you have created a resume in an acceptable format (MS Word, Adobe, PDF, RTF), select the “Resume Upload” link.

    1. Enter a name for your resume (e.g. Brian’s resume) you may upload numerous documents, so please enter a different name for each new resume.

    2. Upload file - Select the browse button and find the file you wish to upload. Once the file is selected, it will appear in the box. (please note that Microsoft Word resumes are the easiest to view)

    3. When finished, select the “complete” button.

  2. Upload a Cover Letter: In this same area, you may create cover letter templates. To create a cover letter, select the “Create New Cover Letter” button. The next page will ask you for a cover letter title. Next, type or cut and paste your cover letter in the text box. Select the “continue” button when finished. You will have the opportunity to edit each cover letter before you submit your application materials to advertised positions.

  3. Upload Other Documents: A third section will enable you to upload additional documents that are not resumes or cover letters. You can upload any file that is in Microsoft Word, Adobe, PDF or JPEG.

Job Agent: This feature is a way for students to receive email notification of job postings that fit the selected criteria. The Job Agent icon is a saved job search that is constantly run in the system. Each time a job that matches your selected criteria is posted to the site, it is automatically emailed to you. To set up the Job Agent feature,

  1. Select “Job Agent”

  2. Select desired job levels, function, job locations and keywords

  3. Select “Save Changes”

  4. If you would like to deactivate your job agent, select “Clear Job Agent Requirements” and save the changes

Searching for Jobs:

  1. Select the desired link (e.g. Student part time) and click the item once it has been highlighted.

  2. Select a job title for job specific information or the Employer’s name for basic information about the employer in general.

  3. To apply to a specific position, read the job description and contact information, and select the available application method that best suits your needs. Various contact information will be shown which can include mailing address, phone number, fax number, email contact information and the “Apply Online” feature. To use your uploaded resume and cover letter and/or additional documents that are requested, select the “Apply online” link when available. (Please note: once items have been sent to employers using the apply online method, the information is sent directly to the employers and cannot be changed after it has been submitted. For methods where the employer will be able to collect the information on a certain date, information can be modified until the stated deadline.)

  4. Applying Online: When applying online, you can select any single approved resume and any single cover letter that have been uploaded, which will be sent directly to the recruiter. Cover letters do not have to be sent. After you have made your selection, select the “Send” button. Remember, you cannot retrieve your information once it has been sent using the Apply Online method. Be sure to proofread all documents and make sure that you are sending the correct information.

Interviews & Events: To view upcoming events and interviews, please select this icon.

Interviews: When you see an employer for which you would like to submit your application materials for preselection, please select the event title. A description about the event will appear along with a link that will give you more information about the position(s)/ events advertised. If you would like to interview with the organization, please select the “Submit Resume for interview” link. Please note: this does not guarantee an interview slot, but it indicates your interest in interviewing with the recruiter. A recruiter may review all resumes in the system and pre-select from that group. It is strongly recommended that if you are interested in interviewing with a particular employer, you should submit your application materials using the methods mentioned under the description section.

Your resume will now be reviewed along with other students for the available pre-selection slots. After the employer makes its choices, you will receive an email notifying you whether you have been pre-selected or not for an interview with the employer. If you have been pre-selected, you will be able to log onto the system and select a time slot in which to interview with the employer. Time slots will be filled on a first come- first served basis. Please be sure to check your email and the IUI Career Connection web site often to make sure that you do not miss any of the pre-selections.

Events: OPD will accept reservations for programming offered by our office using the IUI Career Connection system. To register for an event,

  1. Select the event and read the description (which may also include registration instructions)

  2. Select sign up

  3. Once you have signed up for the event, you may confirm your registration under the Event Sign up section
