Jobs, Internships and JobHoundConnect
Your gateway to jobs on and off campus, internships, career employment and career-building experiences
JobHoundConnect (JHC) is a password-protected data management and referral system developed for University of Indianapolis students and alumni. JHC serves as one key resource for identifying and connecting with potential employers. Before you log on, there are a few things we want to tell you:
- Career Services receives hundreds of employment-related notices
each month. Unfortunately the value, accuracy or quality of each
of these notices cannot be verified. As a job seeker, you need to exercise
prudence and caution in dealing with firms who advertise on websites,
especially when the information shown appears incomplete.
- Upper-level students in search of internships and degree-oriented
career positions must provide Career Services with an up-to-date,
winning resume–one that distinguishes you as a serious job seeker
and candidate. We recommend a simple one-page Word document verses a template
that tends to make a resume longer than it needs to be, as well as restrict
you to a certain format. Elsewhere on this site (Job Search Advice & Resources),
in JHC, and certainly in the career center, you can find all the help
you need to create a really good resume. Also, students wishing to be
referred for internships should attend an internship orientation session
before submitting a resume to JHC.
- Students seeking a campus job probably recognize what
a great opportunity this can be to develop workplace skills and gain valuable
pre-professional experience. You'll want to make the most of it. Before
contacting a campus supervisor, though, we suggest you know a little something
about the targeted office or department (university website, catalog,
student handbook, etc.). Also, have a typewritten summary or resume of
your qualifications to give him/her (which you may also post on JHC).
Wear casual but clean and neat clothing (no shorts) and make a nice appearance.
Put on your best manners (get the supervisor's name and title, Mr., Ms.,
Dr., and use it). Finally, remember that there are forms to complete before
starting a campus job (available online in JHC or in the Accounting Office).
- Students seeking a job off campus can find many part-time,
seasonal, and summer opportunities on JHC. While it is not required to
have your resume on the system, it certainly is a good idea. Also, be
sure to check out the Events & Activities
calendar on this site and announcements on JHC of student employment fairs
and visiting organizations in search of student employees.
