Careers

More than 300 regional, national, and international recruiters visit McIntire each year in search of exceptional employees. The Commerce Career Services (CCS) staff provides all of the support necessary to ensure that students, alumni, and employers find the best match. One-on-one counseling, career search advising, workshops, and employer-specific programs, along with other professional development opportunities, are provided with the highest level of service and care.

CCS hosts employer coffee networking events during the recruiting season for students to informally meet with recruiters and learn more about positions within their organizations. In addition, employers provide students with resume reviews and mock interviews. Commerce Career Day, held each fall, provides a chance to speak with representatives from more than 100 organizations seeking to hire McIntire graduates.

In addition, McIntire’s centers, student organizations, and Corporate Partner Program offer a full calendar of events that bring together students and business leaders from a wide variety of industries and functional areas of expertise. In short, students have almost daily opportunities to network with business leaders and potential employers.

"I originally chose McIntire for the reputation of the School, but I don't think I fully appreciated how well respected the program was until I went through the job recruitment process and saw the caliber of the companies actively pursuing McIntire students for positions."
