REGISTRATION ENTRY

Employers will search this information to choose appropriate candidates, so be as thorough and complete as possible.

· Go to your homepage. From this page you can access the Mentoring Network, where you can search the datbase for alumni who are willing to mentor and assist you in a variety of ways. You may also search for jobs without uploading a resume.

JOB SEARCH

· From your homepage, select Search for Jobs Posted to My School, enter criteria specific to the type of job you are seeking, and then Begin Search. You may also Search for Jobs in CCN’s Jobs Central, our national jobs database.

When conducting a job search using CCN, be aware that by selecting several search criteria, such as Major, Job Targets, etc., you are narrowing your search. It is a good idea to conduct a focused search, but you may also want to try searching different criteria. To view all jobs posted, leave all the search fields blank. To monitor your job search, select View My Job Search History from your homepage.

RESUME ENTRY

· From your homepage, select Upload a Resume. You should have a resume completed at this time to upload. Acceptable formats are listed. Browse for the file, select it, then Upload Your Resume.

· If you do not upload a resume, employers will not be able to contact you.

Congratulations! You now know how to navigate through College Central Network.

From now on you can visit your school’s site at www.collegecentral.com/mckendree or the CCN icon on the Career Services' home page to search for jobs and network with McKendree University alumni through the Mentoring Network.

Just select the appropriate icon on the site homepage, then either Student or Alumni Central and enter McKendree, your unique ID and Password and you’re there! From this main page you can go into the Mentoring Network or Job Search pages.
