Create a Job Agent

Let the career site find the jobs for you!

So you're on the job/internship hunt but you have other responsibilities (family, school, work...) to look after and you have no idea how to be effective in your search. How about letting your career site find the jobs for you?

When you create a job agent, you input what you want in a job. You can specify location, part-time/full-time, department, and title among other criteria. You can then set up the job agent to send you notifications when a job pops up that matches your preferences. Or you can turn-off notifications and just run the job agent each time you log into the website. Good sites for this include LinkedIn, Glassdoor.com, and Indeed.com. University career pages are great places to create job agents for internships since the postings are generally highly targeted and descriptive.
