FT MBA Students
Access HireSmith
HireSmith, TERP Online (TOL) & Other Job-Search
systems
What is
HireSmith?
HireSmith is the online job-search website/database
customized for students
of the Smith School of Business. It
facilitates the recruiting, on-campus interviewing,
and resume collections of business students/alums. It can be compared
to the famous Monster and HotJobs
job-search websites and tailored
to Smith, with employers and events specifically
geared toward the Smith community.
What is
TerpOnline (TOL)? Can graduate students
use it?
As the primary online job-search website/database
for non-Smith students, TOL is the main Campus Career Center's equivalent
of HireSmith. Smith students can also
get a TOL account, if they choose.
However, all business-focused career
opportunities will reside in HireSmith.
What is
JobTrak?
Unlike HireSmith & TOL, Jobtrak is a free
website controlled by Monster, as an avenue
for channeling college students toward interested
employers. However, the University of Maryland's
Jobtrak account is set up for the whole
university, not just the Smith School.
Steps to gain entry to Jobtrak:
-
Access the web site
(http://www.jobtrak.com).
-
Click on “Search
Jobs & Internships."
-
Choose "Univ. of
Maryland, College Park" under “College
and University Career Center.”
-

Resume Books
What's the deal with
these Resume Books?
-
Resume Books can be thought of as
virtual bulletin boards to which you
can publish your resume(s). When you
publish a resume to a resume book, you
submit it to a centralized database
from which employers can search for
students based on limited criteria.
-
Publishing your resume to a resume
book is useful for “getting your resume
out there” to a place where employers
can search for you. Normally, you must
apply to a particular job for your resume
to be seen by a prospective employer.
However, by publishing to the resume
book, employers can perform searches
for “published” documents based on keywords.
For example, if the skills on your resume
includes “Database Analyst,” the employer
can perform this keyword search, and
your published resume will be included
in those results.
Which & how many resumes
can I publish into the Resume Books?
-
For the generic resume books (i.e.,
'Graduate Internship' or 'Experience'
[a global resume book]), publish your
resume that has either the broadest
appeal, OR if your industry & focus
is targeted, then use the resume most
applicable to this target.
-
For the specific resume books (i.e.,
by concentration), use a related resume.
-
You can publish a different resume
for EACH of the resume books of which
you are eligible -- but you can only
publish ONE resume per book.
