The College of Agriculture & Life Sciences (CALS) Career Development Office (CDO) hosts over 50 employers who conduct approximately 600 interviews with more than 250 students annually utilizing a web-based on-campus recruiting system called Cornell CareerNet. This system allows students 24-hour, on-line access to job descriptions and recruiting information. 

It is important for CALS students to put the on-campus recruiting program into perspective as it does not serve all majors equally. Many graduating CALS students will not take part in the recruiting program at all. The majority of recruiters are large, private sector employers who recruit for business-related positions. Only a few public-sector and mid-size employers recruit each year. Approximately 20-25% of CALS job-seeking graduates get their jobs through on-campus recruiting. For the above reason, you should explore alternate ways for job searching.

If you plan to participate in the CALS on-campus recruiting program, you should attend the CALS Recruiting Orientation Meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, September 2 at 4:45 pm in 233 Plant Science.  It is important to attend this meeting (or watch the DVD of this meeting) to learn how to use this service to your best advantage.  Fall 2008 resume submission begins on August 15; the earliest resume submission deadline is September 10.  On-campus interviews will take place September 24-December 5.*
