Recruiting on Campus

Working with UAA Career Services, there are a number of ways that you and your company may recruit students for your open positions, including:

Career Fairs: Set up a booth displaying your company, and let the students know who you are and what sort of opportunities they have within your company! Participating in this on-campus recruiting activity is a highly beneficial means of recruiting. To sign up for an upcoming career fair, call the Career Services Center at (907) 786-4513. View our webpage devoted to Career Fairs for additional information.

Presentations: Participating in class presentations is a great way to visit with students in a more private setting. Give them an overview of the company. Highlight any open positions. Make face-to-face contact with potential hires. Presentations are available during the fall and spring semesters only.

Interviewing: The Career Services Center offers you the opportunity to conduct on campus interviews for your open positions in our interview rooms. Our interview rooms are available year-round. Simply call the Career Services Center to schedule on-campus interviews and use our interview rooms!

Booths and Information Sessions: The Career Services Center coordinates multiple employer information booths and sessions each academic year. If you are interested in getting some great campus visibility and speaking with multiple students, then a booth is the way to go! Career Services sets the booth up in the lobby of a busy building. We can provide tables and chairs, you just need to provide information about your company and different employment opportunities! After your booth, schedule an information session in a classroom, where you can expand on those opportunities and speak more privately about your company to interested students! As of spring 2013, UAA has begun charging for outside companies to reserve table or classroom space. Please call the Career Services Center for a price list at (907) 786-4513.

Posting Job Flyers: If you have a flyer advertising a certain job opening for UAA students, we can post that flyer on our Career Services bulletin boards around campus! This a great way to advertise, just make sure the position title, company, contact information for applicants, a brief description of the job duties, and an application deadline are all on the one-page, 8.5" x 11" flyer. Email the flyer to us at uaa_career@uaa.alaska.edu or drop it by our offices and ask us to print and post on our bulletin boards.
