Approximately 80% of graduating seniors seek employment, service or research positions after graduation. They identify these opportunities primarily via the following methods:

1. Through career center referrals
2. • cultivated through our alumni and parent networks
   • posted by non-Carleton employers on the “Tunnel” (our online opportunity management system), and
   • directly cultivated by the career center team
3. Through referrals from faculty and staff elsewhere at Carleton
4. Through a students’ own connections (i.e., family, friends)
5. Through students’ independent efforts to research opportunities (usually on-line)

There are several options for organizations to offer opportunities to Carleton students. Please contact us for more information about any of these.

On-campus Recruiting

• employers schedule a date to come to campus to interview Carleton students  
• most employers opt to pre-select candidates that they will see during their actual interview date on campus  
• can schedule an information session or reserve a table in Sayles-Hill prior to their interview date in order to publicize their opportunities

Off-campus Recruiting

• Selective Liberal Arts Consortium (SLAC) – a consortium of 14 highly selective liberal arts institutions.  
• interview day events in Chicago, Boston, New York, Washington D.C., and San Francisco  
  functions just like on-campus recruiting in that organizations select candidates in advance, so students know that they have an interview(s) ahead of time  
• major difference is that students travel to the respective cities in which they have interviews

Resume Drop

• employers send us a job description, we put it in the Tunnel and—in discussion with the organization—determine a deadline date
• after the deadline date passes, a packet of resumes are sent to the employer to review
