1. RECRUITING ORIENTATION

REQUIRED FOR PARTICIPATION IN RECRUITING PROGRAM
Recruiting Orientation provides seniors with the foundation for a successful experience in the recruiting program. The fundamentals of a job search are discussed, and training provided for use of CDO's "OCEAN" (Online Career Exploration And Networking) web based system. While all seniors may "Browse" OCEAN, training is REQUIRED to use the system to submit applications, and eventually, schedule interviews.

ALL SENIORS wishing to participate in the Recruiting Program, including On Campus Interviews, Resume Referrals, and the Selective Liberal Arts Consortium events such as City-Based Recruiting Days, are required to complete one during their senior year.

If you have not yet completed one this year, please complete the Online Orientation. **Please note that you will be activated within 2 business days after completing. **
