Dear Econ students:
Subject: Important information about full-time jobs and internships.
The macro-economic climate and condition in the financial markets have led to one of the worst job markets in a long time. However, many great companies are still very interested in hiring UCLA Economics graduates. The challenge is connecting the students with the right companies. To meet this challenge the Department of Economics has collaborated with Revolution Careers to provide free services to all of our students that will help you connect with these companies which include top consulting, investment banking and Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, the economics department will be using the Revolution Careers video interviews as part of the screening process for the prestigious Sharpe Fellowship, for which the application deadline has passed.
I strongly recommend that every Economics student go to revolutioncareers.com to create a full profile, which includes a resume and a video interview. Completing your profile with the Revolution Careers resume creator tool is very easy, and doing the video interview only takes about 20 minutes. After completing this profile you will be able to send it to friends and family for feedback to improve your resume and interview as well as send it to companies to supplement the normal resume. In addition, many top employers will view your profile and contact you about employment opportunities.
Recruiting for full-time positions is going on now, and many companies are beginning to hire for internships, so it is crucial that you begin creating your Revolution Careers profile as soon as possible. To do so you can visit www.revolutioncareers.com or e-mail Julie.Odano@revolutioncareers.com with questions.
Sincerely,
Andy Atkeson
