   Placement and Career Services in the on-campus student
   employment centre. Services provided by this office include:

   -  Job Postings

      Casual, part-time, and summer jobs are posted on the self
      service job boards within the office. Full-time jobs are
      posted in binders in the reference library.

   -  On Campus Recruiting

      Each year a number of employers from the private and public
      sectors visit Carleton to recruit graduating students seeking
      permanent employment. Recruiting begins in mid-September and
      continues until March. Deadlines for applications are
      advertised in The Charlatan newspaper once every two weeks and
      are also posted in the Bi-Weekly Bulletin in the showcase
      outside of the office.

   -  Alumni Referral Services

      Throughout the year, employers contact us seeking qualified
      candidates for immediate job openings. All positions are
      posted in the office and then selectively file searched. A
      file search involves contacting qualified Carleton alumni
      registered with the service and referring them to employers.
      Alumni may register with the service one month prior to
      graduation and remain on file up to three years after
      graduation.

   -  Employment Counselling

      Weekly sessions on resumé writing, covering letters, interview
      techniques, job search and networking skills are provided by
      the Centre. Students and alumni may register to attend at the
      office of the Centre. A resumé critiquing service is also
      available to session participants.
   -  Reference Library

      Students can review material from the reference library in the
      office. The library contains literature on employers, company
      videos, job search materials, work abroad programs, salary
      information, and telephone books from cities across Canada.
