Attend the Employer Resume Review – A Career Fest Signature Event

Career Fest is a week of events for USC students centered on professional development. The week includes panels, discussions, workshops, and networking events hosted by departments across the USC campus. The Employer Resume Review is one of the signature events of Career Fest and is being held on January 27, 2020. 

This event will provide a rare opportunity for students to get their resumes reviewed by actual recruiters, gain a different perspective through the eyes of employers, and meet some of their favorite companies. Typically, 200-300 students attend from all years, majors, and disciplines.

Connect with School-Based Career Services and Events

Along with the Career Center, USC has school-based career centers or professionals committed to the career development of each USC student. USC’s federated model of central and school-based career services allows us to provide a wide range of career services and a variety of programs, workshops, and general career development advice, along with industry-specific information, job opportunities, and networking connections. Students can seek assistance from both the Career Center as well as their school-based career centers or professionals.

Communication Etiquette

  • We recommend to keep in close communication with the USC Career Center about your updated point of contacts, hiring cycle, organization culture, and brand. It is also important to keep in close communication with the USC Career Center office to maximize and update your organization’s knowledge and involvement with the students.
  • It is important to maintain professional and meaningful recruiter-student communication before, during, and after the hiring process. Communicating regularly with students, even those that were not offered a position will keep the students engaged with your recruiting process and continue to improve their application or interview outcomes.
