HOW TO BECOME
INVOLVED IN THE CAREER FAIR OR OTHER EVENTS
Dana College sponsored
Career Fairs and other events are wonderful opportunities for Employers
to meet Dana students. For a complete
list of career events for the next several months, consult the
Schedule of Events. Dana students graduate in December,
January, May,
and August, with the greatest proportion graduating in May.
Dana College holds a career/job /graduate & professional
school fair each spring for all majors. Please contact our office
at career@dana.edu or 402-426-7258 to be placed on the mailing list to receive
information about the event. A postcard with the date will be sent
to you about
three months before the fair, followed by a registration packet
about two months ahead. Registration is open on a first-come-first-served
basis. A fee which includes two lunches is charged. The earlier
you
register, the more advance publicity your attendance will receive
and the more likely students are to arrange to contact you
at the fair.
Various other events are held throughout the year which
provide employers an opportunity to interact with students. Panel
discussions
provide
an opportunity for students to hear 3-5 professionals talk
about their field. An opportunity for questions and answers
follows
the panel discussion.
Employers provide welcome assistance
with these
events:
• Industry, Occupational, or Job Search Panels
• Presentations on a variety of topics (Resumes, Cover Letters, Interviewing,
Networking, etc.)
• Mock Interviews
• Informational Presentations on your Organization
If you wish to participate in one of these events, please contact
the Director of Career Services at anelson@dana.edu, 402-426-7258.

NEBRASKA INTERVIEW CONSORTIUM
The Nebraska Interview Consortium (NIC)
provides a convenient linkage between employers and graduating
students from
eleven of Nebraska's
smaller four-year colleges and universities. With
a single contact, employers can arrange interviews at a central
location with students
from all of the Consortium schools (a combined enrollment
of approximately 18,000 full-time students and an
average of 3,000
graduates annually!).
It also puts the resumes of these students in a centralized
database allowing for an expedient and efficient
referral of candidates
to employers. More information is available at the
NIC
website: http://www.nebrwesleyan.edu/services/nic/
To contact the Nebraska Interview Consortium to list positions,
or for resume referrals contact Heather
Hoops, NIC Coordinator
at hhoops@nebrwesleyan.edu or 402-465-7573.
GENERAL CAREER SERVICES POLICIES FOR INTERVIEWING & RECRUITING
General Guidelines For On-Campus Recruiting
The Office of Career Services seeks to provide employers with
appropriate and timely services. Furthermore, the Office
seeks to ensure that students are appropriately prepared for
the employer's
recruiting
visit. Accordingly, employers are asked to
follow these guidelines.
• Provide advance notice of an on-campus recruiting visit
(at least 3-4 weeks). The Career Services
office will make sure
that your
visit coincides with a time that the students
are on campus, and that the
date does not conflict with other recruiters
on campus.
• Provide, in advance, a job description/s of position/s
being recruited.
• Provide on-line or hard copy resource information
about the employing organization.
• Must not solicit or sell their products
or services during the course of recruiting.
• Must fully disclose to Dana College Career
Services, and to students/alums the structure
of their compensation
packages
and
business costs
incurred up through the first year of employment.
This includes salary, duration
of salary, training allowance, incentive
programs, stock options, commission structure,
benefits,
and any costs
borne by the
employee/applicant/independent contractor
including testing, licenses, classes, travel
expenses,
and equipment.
• Must clearly indicate the employing organization
name and contact information on any flyers
and must not overstate
possible compensation.
• The Office of Career Services professional
staff reserves the right to investigate complaints
by
students about
employers or
jobs posted
through the Office of Career Services. If
the Office determines that a complaint is
justified,
the Office
may choose to
deny employer services to the employer involved.
The Office of
Career Services
will notify the employer in writing should
a situation result in this type of a decision.
Straight
Commission
Employers with “straight commission” positions may
request a room for an informational presentation regarding
their organization and the positions available. We do not schedule interviews
for straight
commission positions, nor are they eligible
for resume referrals.
Third Parties/Contract Recruiters
Third parties (employment agencies and search firms) may list openings
online, however, they may not recruit
on-campus or receive resume referrals. Contract Recruiters may
recruit on campus
if they are recruiting for only one employer and identify that employer.
Equal
Employment
Only Equal Opportunity Employers may use Dana College facilities.
Career Services professionals will maintain
EEO compliance and follow affirmative action principles in career services
activities
in a manner that includes the following: Referring all interested
students for employment opportunities without regard
to race, color,
national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation,
or disability, and providing reasonable accommodations upon
request.
Use of Facilities
Interview and presentation facilities arranged by Dana College
Career Services are to be used solely to speak
with students from Dana College or students from other institutions who have
been invited
by Career Services to participate in Career Services events.
Exceptions to this policy must be requested of the Director in advance
of the visit.
Career Services has the right to request
names of candidates interviewed in instances where an organization is
setting up
its
own schedule.
NACE Principles
Employers recruiting at Dana College are expected to adhere to
the National Association of Colleges and
Employers Principles http://www.naceweb.org/committee/whitepapers/Principles_for_Professional_Conduct.pdf.
