How do I find out who's hiring?
There are several ways to stay connected with the organizations and people who are looking for someone with your skills.
Job postings
There are organizations that do not recruit on campus but have an active interest in sourcing talent from Tippie. Most often, these companies will post their opportunities in Handshake, the University of Iowa’s job posting platform. Companies may also post positions on LinkedIn or Indeed and specifically notify the Tippie Career Services team so we can share the opportunity with our students.
Corporate engagement events
Companies will visit campus to present to students and share opportunities at their company. Other times, the Tippie Career Services team will host an alumni panel or industry-specific event where panelists share advice and best practices. These events are held in person and virtually and are an excellent way to learn valuable information and build your network.
Networking and relationship management
Utilizing your professional network and expanding your connections with presenters, alumni, and your classmates is an essential part of your journey.
Career fairs
There are organizations not only attending Career Fairs, but they are also utilizing these venues as a primary recruiting source. Career Fairs can be local or national, in person or virtual. Career Fairs are industry specific while others focus specific identity groups (women in tech, veterans, etc.)
Professional associations
Another terrific way to build your network is to join a professional society. You can take advantage of professional development opportunities, build your skills by taking on leadership roles, and build connections with people in your industry. Additionally, professional associations have job boards on their website where you can find job opportunities in your field.
Additional opportunities for Tippie students
If you're a student with the Tippie College of Business at the University of Iowa, you have additional opportunities to connect with organizations and people.
Communications from Tippie
Tippie Career Services utilizes a variety of channels to let you know about job opportunities and relevant events. Be sure to watch your inbox for emails from us as well as join our LinkedIn group.
Staff and faculty connections
Do not forget that your Tippie partners extend to other staff and faculty. Be sure to make your career interests known so that you will be top of mind if an appropriate opportunity presents itself.
