The Center for Engineering Career Development and University Career Services is committed to bringing you the best resources available to help you in your job search. CareerShift offers a comprehensive online resource, designed to support the #1 request of job-seekers: an easy-to-use web site to conduct and organize your job search.

CareerShift replaces our former resource called "CareerSearch" as of July 2011.

CareerShift's set of tools and applications provide a very unique opportunity to job-hunters. While other web services provide bits and pieces of the job hunt process, only CareerShift provides an easy-to-use approach for bringing all these parts together to crack the "hidden job market" and for managing the job hunt all in one place. With CareerShift, you can:

• Search and store jobs from all the major job boards, company websites, newspapers and anywhere else a job is posted on the Internet.
• Get inside contact information immediately, including e-mail addresses, for millions of companies, even alumni, then save and manage your lists.
• Upload, copy and paste as many targeted resumes and cover letters needed or upload your current documents.
• Work with Career Services to create unlimited e-mail campaigns with your saved contacts, resumes and cover letters. You can choose to send your lists to yourself for a postal campaign.
• Campaigns are automatically saved and recorded. In MY CALENDAR, you can keep notes, and set reminders for follow-ups.
• Access your confidential CareerShift account from anywhere, anytime, 24/7.
