Graduating Student Employment Service

Each year approximately 400 employer organizations recruit on campus from September to June for full-time positions available upon graduation. Application deadlines commence mid-September and continue throughout the academic year. It is important to learn how to participate in the GSES.

Many organizations fill their hiring needs for the upcoming year through the Graduating Student Employment Service, so don’t miss out on these job opportunities!

How to Participate in the Graduating Student Employment Service (GSES)

• Attend a 2010 Graduating Student Employment Orientation Session
• Attend Career Development 101, 102 and 103 sessions (if you are uncertain of your career goals), Employment Preparation workshops (to develop resumés, cover letters and electronic applications and to prepare for interviews) and other employer events
• Attend Career Fair on September 29, 2010 and Job Fair on February 2, 2011
• Attend employer recruiting sessions held prior to their job application deadlines as employers view these networking opportunities as part of their hiring process (you will need to login to Navigator to register for recruiting sessions)
• Visit the Career Centre and our website regularly for updated recruiting information, including the recruiting schedule, job postings, employer recruiting sessions, and interview schedules

Employer Recruiting Session Attendance Policy

Through the Graduating Student Employment Service, a number of employers schedule recruiting sessions to promote the positions for which they are recruiting. These events provide an excellent opportunity for students to learn from and network with employer representatives and are a key component of the recruiting process.

For those sessions students plan to attend, it is important to register through Navigator as attendance is confirmed with employers. Once registered, students are expected to be present at the session. In the event that a student can no longer attend the session, it is imperative that the Career Centre be notified of this cancellation. Cancellations can be made online up to 24 hours in advance of the session, after which a telephone call to the Centre (519.884.0710 ext. 2626) must be made.

Should a student register and fail to attend two sessions without cancelling in advance, the student will be required to meet with the Co-ordinator: Employment Services prior to any further participation in the Graduating Student Employment Service.
