Trends
Accurate information on salaries, occupations and employment trends is important for many activities such as job searches, product or service development and promotion, and more. The following sources are available on line:

Economic & Employment Projections - U.S. Department of Labor’s (USDOL) Bureau of Labor Statistics provides the most current projections on where future job growth is expected by industry and occupation and the likely composition of the work force pursuing those jobs.

The Occupational Information Network (O'Net) - maintained by the USDOL, this site allows you to find jobs that fit your interest, skills and experience, explore career profiles from the latest labor market data, search for occupations that use your skills, view specific details about occupations and identify related occupations.

Occupational Outlook Handbook - The OOH, from the USDOL, gives you detailed information on hundreds of occupations. Each listing addresses the training and education needed, earnings, expected job prospects, what workers do on the job and working conditions. In addition, the Handbook gives you job search tips, links to information about the job market in each State and more.

Recruit-a-Bull
The Career Center uses Recruit-a-Bull to manage listings for employment, internships, co-ops and volunteer opportunities along with resume submissions. This service is free to students and new alumni (those who have been graduated for less than 6 months).

Recommend Employer
We welcome your suggestions for expanding our employer database. Each semester we invite a variety of local, state and national companies, government agencies and non-profits, to use our services to recruit students. If you have contact information for a particular organization, please let us know and we will be delighted to let them know you made this referral.

Letters of Reference
There are many ways to craft a recommendation letter; however, it must reflect your perceptions and experiences with the candidate. http://www.naceweb.org/legal/faculty_reference/home.aspx for suggestions from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) on how to write reference letters for students.

Referrals in the Employment Process
You play a direct role in the employment process for new graduates. Ideally, your role and that of the Career Center are complementary. Occasionally, however, helping students in their job searches can result in unanticipated illegal or unethical actions. Since you may be in contact with employers who wish to recruit your students, please review the National Association of Colleges & Employers (NACE) Ethical & Legal Standards for Hiring Students.
