Tips and Tricks
My Jobs
Search thousands of opportunities from employer websites, published job listings,
professional association sites, and other search engines.
In using this tool to find opportunities, the keyword search is extremely important.
Pay specific attention to what titles companies are using to describe their positions.
My Contacts
Using the My Contacts tab in CareerShift, you can find alumni in a particular industry
or company. If you are seeking a contact within a specific company with whom you can
conduct an informational interview, you can search in the contacts section to find
the best connection.
My Documents
Upload your resume and cover letter for easy online access. Use the online document
editing tool that allows you to quickly edit saved documents for re-sending. If you
need to change an address or revise your experiences/skills, CareerShift allows these
edits to existing files within the system without having to upload a new document.
My Campaigns
Set up email campaigns to follow-up on previous applications. As you apply for jobs
and acquire contacts, you can add them to the My Contacts section in the system. Using
a “campaign” you can send personalized versions of your resume and cover letter to
your contacts.
My Calendar
Schedule reminders to follow up with potential employers. CareerShift will remind
you to contact them via email. If you have a series of interviews coming up, CareerShift
can remind you to prepare and conduct research beforehand.
