Get Hired! Week of December 15, 2025

Looking for work, your first job, or experience in your field of study?

Get Hired shares new postings and events every week to help you find opportunities that match your goals and schedule.

Tip of the Week: Use Campus Resources to Build Career Skills

 Building experience is not only about jobs or volunteer roles. Workshops, career coaching, and skill-building sessions on campus can strengthen your confidence and expand your resume. Sessions on communication, teamwork, networking, and workplace readiness give you practical tools employers value. A Career Advisor can help you choose the sessions that support your goals and next steps.
