“10 Days of Career Services” from January 28th to February 8th is an event sponsored by CALS Career Services surrounding the Career Fair and is a road map for how you should prepare for the event. The Spring Career and Internship Fair is February 4th from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Kohl Center, so it’s time to get started.
Today we encourage you to “Join the CALS Career Services Community.” CALS Career Services provides a community determined to help you achieve your professional goals. We have numerous ways you can stay connected to our events, tips and job postings.
Our Facebook page is the primary place we post information about our events and any interesting information and tips that will help you succeed. Our page is “CALS Career Services-UW Madison” and has nearly 600 (and growing) student, employer, alumni and staff fans.
Our twitter page, “@CALS_Careers,” is used to post daily internship and job descriptions in the agricultural and life sciences industries. We typically post four openings a day. We also post other important information about our events, including during the career fair where you can see what is going on by following the #UWCF hashtag. Use this great resource to connect with employers and other important resources. Join the conversation today!
Probably the most important resource for CALS students to connected to is BuckyNet. This is a database of jobs and internships that any CALS student can use. If you already have an account you should enter your BuckyNet page and look at the organizations coming to the career fair. If you can’t remember your password click “forgot password” and an email will be sent to you automatically with your password information. If you do not have an account you can email CALS Career Services at career@cals.wisc.edu with your name, major, year you plan to graduate and your campus ID and we will create an account for you and send you your password information.
This is also the time to browse our website for tips on professional development topics like resumes, interviewing, cover letters and more. View sample documents and tune in to our fantastic library of “Career Spot” videos!
Brand new this week is our Pintrest page! We are using this social media tool to showcase professional dress and a few “how-to” videos designed to help you navigate the challenges associated with what to wear! If you are a Pintrest user – follow CALS Careers today!
