Over 80% of students and recent graduates are having a hard time finding a job in this tough economy. AfterCollege provides exclusive jobs and internships from employers seeking students in your major, at your school. We take the searching out of the job search, providing only opportunities from employers looking for you. Sign up on AfterCollege.
Ways to leverage AfterCollege to Find a Job
Sign up and get relevant jobs
Sign up on AfterCollege and if we see any relevant jobs, we will email them to you. Employers use AfterCollege to post jobs and internships to students from specific student groups and academic departments. So any opportunities you get from us will be relevant to your school and area of study. At a minimum, AfterCollege can make you aware of opportunities that you may not know about.
Go to AfterCollege, locate your school, then your department, and sign up. If you don’t see your department or student group, tell your department to contact AfterCollege to be added. It’s free.
Get Recommendations from Professors and Classmates
Once you sign up on AfterCollege, go to your Account home and start asking for recommendations. AfterCollege allows you to ask for, receive, and approve recommendations that will become part of your AfterCollege profile. Make sure you ask for recommendations before you graduate or go away for the summer. If you did well in a class, ask the professor or teaching assistant to comment on your class performance. If you worked on a group assignment with other classmates, ask them to write about how you worked with them as part of the group. The key is to ask for these recommendations while people’s perceptions of you are still fresh on their minds.
Free, Confidential and Private
AfterCollege is free for schools and job seekers. We generate revenue from employers who find value in targeting their opportunities to specific schools and departments, and this allows us to offer our services to job seekers and schools at no charge. Most importantly, we do everything we can to make sure your information is secure and private. We don’t sell your information to third parties. We also don’t make your profile public or release your information to anyone without your consent.

Try contacting companies directly and telling them your goals and your plans to relocate. Most companies will help you relocate and pay some accommodations like the first few months rent and moving costs. Especially if you are right out of university!! You are a very desirable candidate.
When I finished university I applied for jobs directly to the HR department and they flew me down for the interview, hired me, then gave me a $15,000 signing bonus to help buy a house there and a 3 month tax free living allowance. They wanted me bad because I was a new business graduate and companies will hire you in a heart beat.
