| On-Campus Interviews |
| Throughout the academic year, employers will conduct on-campus interviews for qualified candidates. Employers often set up recruiting tables prior to these interviews to give prospective candidates the opportunity to drop off their resumes and learn more about their organization. A current on-campus interview schedule is maintained on eRecruiting. Upcoming interviews are also widely advertised on campus and in student publications. |

| Teacher Credential Services |
| Educational students who are certified to teach can use Teacher Credential services in their job search efforts. Career Services staff will maintain your individual file containing the credential information required for application to teaching positions. When you have chosen a position for which you would like to apply, complete and submit the Teacher Credential Request Form. Upon receipt of your request, our staff will ensure that your application materials are certified by Career and Counseling Services and mailed promptly. There is a minimal processing fee for each credential file sent. |
| Note: School districts notice when job applicants follow the application procedures the district has stated in their job posting. Therefore, it is recommended that you only request credential packets be sent to those districts which have asked that the credentials be sent along with your resume and cover letter. Please pay attention to their directions. |
