Get Hired! Week of December 1, 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: Build Experience and Confidence Through Involvement

Feeling short on experience? Campus involvement is a strong starting point. Volunteering or joining student groups can build your confidence, strengthen your resume, and help you develop skills employers value, including teamwork, communication, problem solving, and leadership. A Peer Involvement Advisor can help you explore opportunities that fit your interests.
