Welcome to Engineering Career Services. In addition to the services provided to you by your department, ECS offers a host of additional services to assist you with your job or internship search. Whether you are seeking full-time employment after graduation or you would like to gain practical experience through a summer or semester internship or by participating in a co-op program, we can help.

Services include:
  • Workshops & seminars
  • Personal consultation appointments
  • Résumé and cover letter reviews
  • Mock interviews
  • Company events
  • Fall & Spring career fairs
  • Consultation on offer evaluation and negotiation
  • Presentations for classes and/or student organizations
  • H1Base database of companies that hire international students

To learn more about the recruiting process and what to expect during your job search, watch our new online career management seminar. You will find out what you can start doing now to make sure you get the right job when you graduate. The seminar is also a great resource for parents interested in learning more about the job search process. (You must have Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player to view the seminar. Both can be downloaded free from the Microsoft website.)

Have you signed up for Always Illinois, the professional social networking site for Illinois students, alumni, and friends? If not, it's a great way to interact with alums from companies you may be interested in. Visit Always Illinois to register today!
