Welcome back! On-campus interviews resume on Monday, January 26. Please continue^* to check Miami CAREERlink regularly for possible interview opportunities. However, do not rely solely on this method of job searching.

Attend our workshops, research employers using CareerSearch and directories in our Career Resource Center, review our Web site for career information and dozens of links to relevant job-search sites, and come to Spring ICE. Call us at 529-3831 to make an appointment with a Career Advisor or to schedule a practice “mock” interview. Our office hours are M – F, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. No appointment is necessary to use our Career Resource Center in Hoyt Hall.
