Are employers still hiring? How might the hiring process change?
It is up to each company to decide how to handle their hiring process. Be patient and understand all employers might not be able to hire new employees or schedule in-person interviews at this time. Employers still hiring may move to phone-screens, and virtual interviews via Skype, Zoom, etc. The CDIC can aid you in preparing for those types of interviews! Schedule an appointment for a mock interview via Handshake.
Are employers still hosting events?
The CDIC has cancelled all in-person spring events and many employers have cancelled in-person interviews. However, employers are still hosting online events. A list of these events, can be found on Handshake.
How can I engage with employers?
You can still engage with employers via LinkedIn, Handshake, or email. Employers might be switching to remote services, therefore, by updating your LinkedIn and Handshake profiles, they will be able to gain a lot of information about your background and experiences without having to meet you in person.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the CDIC via email at careerdevelopment@assumption.edu. Stay healthy and safe everyone!
