~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-FACT: Fall term is when a majority of companies are recruiting for seniors who are graduating in May. You are already a bit late if you are graduating in December. Do not wait until winter or spring break to start your search/interviewing. Start now.
-FACT: The UIC Office of Career Services (OCS) located in SSB, requires that seniors attend one of the OCS Career Preparation Seminars before the student is allowed to interview on campus with companies who want them! Do not confuse OCS (which handles full time job search support for all UIC students) with the Engineering Career Center in SEO which assists COE students on internships and co-ops.
- FACT: The ECC has invited OCS to present three of these mandatory meetings in SEO 1000 to make life easier for you. You just need to attend one OCS Career Prep Seminars – either in SEO or SSB – soon. The ones in SEO are 1.25 minutes. Those in SSB take 2 hours.
-FACT: No registration is needed for these OCS workshops. But, if you are 5 minutes late, OCS will not allow you in. Please be on time.
-FACT: FIRST MEETING OPTION IS WEDNESDAY AT 4:00 p.m. in SEO 1000. This is not something you can put off, so if you cannot attend Wednesday, see the list below for your other options.If you do not attend one of the 1 hour presentations in SEO 1000 or one of the 2 hour presentations being put on in SSB, you will not be allowed to interview on campus, per OCS rules.
-FACT: When employers contact OCS or us in the ECC, we go straight to the www.UICcareers.com data base to help find the students they are looking for. Your name will not pop up if you have not updated your UICcareers account. UICcareers is notconnected to the UIC student database. You must update your UICcareers account every term. It does not know when you change from a junior to a senior or get a new phone number or address or you have a new GPA. You must tell it. Please update it. If your data is not correct, you will not get the email or phone call related to a job…
