MS&T Employment Center

ACerS, AIST, ASM, and TMS are sponsoring an Employment Center and literature table at the MS&T’08 meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, October 5-9, 2008, and we invite you to participate. Both are available at no charge, and we hope you’ll take advantage of them!

Here are the basics from the employer side:

-It's free.

-Corporate recruiters can post job openings, collect resumes, schedule interviews, and conduct on-site interviews.

-You do not need to attend MS&T to post positions. If you're not attending, submit job postings by e-mail ahead of time to Tricia Nicol.

-Bring 20 copies of each position posting to the meeting. The positions can range from internships to executive management positions.

-The position openings are displayed on bulletin boards in the Employment Center, and are classified according to the college degree desired for the position, i.e. BS, MS/MBA, PhD.

-There will be two interviewing rooms for on-site interviews of 30 minutes.

-Note for companies participating in the Material Advantage Student Career Connection on Tuesday afternoon: you are also invited to post jobs in teh Employment Center. While the Career Connection is specifically for students, the Employment Center is for all attendees, including students.

Here are the basics from the job seeker side:

-It's free.

-Job seekers complete a basic employment form and attach their resume, both of which are filed in the basis of highest degree completed or in progress, in a loose-leaf binder for review by prospective employers.

-You do not need to attend MS&T to post your resume. If you're not attending, submit your resume by e-mail ahead of time to Tricia Nicol.

-Bring 20 copies of your resume to the meeting.

-Employers review the collection of resumes from time to time, and if they are interested in interviewing someone on-site, Employment Center staff can help arrange an appointment.

-Job seekers also review the job postings that are arranged by college degree desired. If interested in a position, they leave their resume at the Employment Center desk. If the company is not interviewing at the meeting, staff collect and then mail all resumes for a position to the company at the end of the conference.

There will be a detailed set of instrutions at the Employment Center for employers, and another one for candidates.
