Resume Approval Career Services reserves the right to approve your résumé before it may be submitted to posted jobs. This is for your protection – if your resume contains errors it will eliminate you from consideration by employers to whom you submit it. You will receive an e-mail that lets you know that your résumé is approved or you will be contacted by your career center to make corrections, as needed.

Nebraska Interview Consortium (NIC)

What is NIC? The Nebraska Interview Consortium, with an endorsement from your DANA COLLEGE Career Center, provides an Interview Program and convenient linkage between employers and graduating students from 11 of Nebraska's smaller colleges and universities. With a single contact, employers can arrange interviews at a central location with students from all of the Consortium schools. Interviews are located in Omaha at the Bellevue University West Campus, in Lincoln at the Nebraska Wesleyan Career Center, or in Wayne at Wayne State College. Employers also request referrals of resumes of qualified candidates in the InterviewTRAK system. Every year Dana students obtain employment through NIC.

For accounting graduates, the NIC hosts an Accounting Interview Day in early October. InterviewTrak is the software used to manage the transfer and prescreening of resumes as well as online interview registration.

Employers may also choose a Resume Drop. A Resume Drop allows students to submit their resumes directly to employers using the NIC InterviewTRAK system. The employer does all follow up.

Registration permits you to participate in all services offered through your Dana College Career Center, including on-campus interviews and resume referrals through the Nebraska Interview Consortium (NIC). Your DANA COLLEGE Career Center office and the NIC Coordinator will also have access to your registration information and will use it to:

• E-mail you about upcoming events and prospective jobs,
• Download your resume and send it out to interested employers (Resume Referral), and
• Create Resume Collections – CD-ROMs of students/alumni to distribute to employers.

  * Employers do NOT have access to your user profile/registration.

How can I participate? Watch for NIC Registration Workshops hosted by the Career Services office in the fall and spring. Participation in one of these workshops is required and provides you with the necessary information to use the process effectively. If you miss the workshop dates, contact the Director of Career Services, anelson@dana.edu or 42607258, to see what alternative arrangements can be made.

Tips for the Internet Job Search

A word to the wise about Internet Job searching. Do not spend all your time on big internet job boards. Why? Less than 5% of jobseekers find their jobs there – see bottom row of this table. Your time is more profitably spent looking where others find their jobs. Here is a list of the most likely ways to learn about and apply for job openings:

*Source: National Association of Colleges and Employers

Nevertheless, there are wise ways to use the Internet.

• Make a list of companies you would like to work for and google them to locate their websites. Once on their website go to the “careers” or “employment” section and look to see if they have open positions that are of interest to you. Bookmark their site on your computer so you can return to it regularly – because you should check in at least once a week to see if there are new positions there, and when you find a new position, you should apply within one week.
• If you do find a position through a large job board like MonsterTrak or CollegeGrad.com, print out the description and then go to that company’s website to see if the job is listed there as well. Your resume and application are much more likely to receive attention if submitted through the company website than through a large job board.
• The Internet has made Employer Research much easier. You should always research a company before sending your resume and cover letter to apply. For more information on Employer Research, click on
