Purpose

The Career Outlook Program provides undergraduates an opportunity to explore careers through shadowing a Wes alumni or parent during Winter Break.  Shadow opportunities can range from 1 day to 2 weeks and may include observing a professional, participating in a specific project, or “job-sharing” within an organization or business.

Dates of Participation

This year, students can participate in a job shadow from January 2 through January 18, 2008.

Eligibility

All currently enrolled Wesleyan undergraduates can participate in a Career Outlook.

Selection Process

Please note that there are a limited number of Career Outlook opportunities.  All potential participants must submit a resume and cover letter via MyCRC 2.0 to the specific Career Outlook sponsor of their choice and the sponsor will select their final candidate.  Unfortunately, the CRC cannot guarantee that all applicants will be selected for a Career Outlook experience.

NOTE: You must have your resume approved by a CRC counselor before you are eligible to apply for Career Outlook**. Students who have not had a resume approved will not see an "Apply" button for any of the Career Outlooks listed in MyCRC.

Procedure

1. Log onto MyCRC 2.0
2. Click "Organization Search"
3. Search by company name: "Career Outlook"
4. Click on "Career Outlook Program"
5. Select the "Jobs" tab (make sure the 'Ease Jobs' tab is selected)
6. You can now view all of the shadowing opportunities! Make sure to check back as new sponsors will be added!

The CRC will forward your application to the sponsor and you will be informed whether or not you have received the Career Outlook between November 14-21.  If you are selected, you must then contact the sponsor to discuss details.

**You can have your resume critiqued and approved by a counselor during Drop In hours.  Additionally, you may also ask for counselor feedback on your cover letter at the same time.
