Guide to Recruiting at Wesleyan

The Wesleyan University Career Resource Center uses EASE (MyCRC) to facilitate the on-campus job posting and interviewing process. MyCRC enables employers to easily post job descriptions, view applicant resumes and cover letters, and make decisions for interviewing candidates via the internet. If you wish to list a position for undergraduate students in Wesleyan's MyCRC system, you can create an account on the site for employers.

Below are the ways you can attract Wesleyan students to your organization:

Resume/Cover Letter Collections | On-campus Interviews | Information Sessions and Tables | Consortia Events & Career Fairs | Experienced Job Postings

Resume/Cover Letter Collections (for internships and/or entry-level jobs)

We welcome internship and job postings from employers seeking liberal arts candidates. Online application deadlines for resumes, cover letters, and any other employer-required materials are scheduled every Tuesday evening during the fall and spring semesters. Employers with a MyCRC account can log in to retrieve resumes themselves or they may choose to receive a e-mailed bundle of submitted materials in Adobe PDF format. If you have a MyCRC account, you may create the internship/job yourself and we will put it in the appropriate deadline. Please note: we reserve the right to deny or remove postings that are not appropriate for Wesleyan students.

On-campus Interviews

We welcome employers interested in interviewing Wesleyan students. Typical schedules are pre-select (employers choose students in advance from the applications submitted) with 13 slots of half-hour interviews starting at 8:30am and ending at 5:00pm. We can also do half-day schedules and other time configurations upon request. Wesleyan does not charge employers for on-campus interview schedules.

For employers who don't already have a recruiting account, we will create one to enable you to enter and edit information about your organization -- such as organization Web site, recruiting contacts, and the qualifications for the internships/jobs you want to publicize. We also encourage employer representatives to use MyCRC to make their interview selections. Please send an e-mail request to recruiting@wesleyan.edu if you are interested in setting up an interview schedule.

Information Sessions and Tables

Information sessions or tables are a great, informal, way for students to learn about your organization and generate interest in an upcoming resume/cover letter collection. Information sessions typically last about an hour and take place in a classroom or lecture hall. Many employers bring PowerPoint, VHS, or DVD presentations but also leave plenty of time for student questions. For information tables, employers are set up in the Usdan University Center where they can talk informally with passing students, generally between the hours of 11am and 2pm. We encourage employers to hold information sessions at least a week prior to an online application deadline. Please send an e-mail request to recruiting@wesleyan.edu if you are interested in setting up an information session or information table.

Consortia Events and Career Fairs

Wesleyan participates in a number of recruiting consortia (off-campus interview days) with other liberal arts colleges, including the Fall Recruiting Consortium in New York and the Eastern College Career Days in Boston and New York. Click here for an overview of our consortia events and career fairs. Please send an e-mail request to recruiting@wesleyan.edu if your organization would like to participate in a consortium event.

Experienced Job Postings

For employers whose jobs are more appropriate for experienced candidates, we recommend two resources: the Liberal Arts Career NetWORK, where employers can post positions, for free, to be seen by students and alumni at 29 liberal arts colleges; or MonsterTRAK, a searchable network for all college/university students and alumni (there may be a fee to post on MonsterTRAK). Wesleyan alumni and parents are also eligible to post positions to Cardinal Jobs, our listserv for alumni, by alumni.
