Information for Employers interested in School of Design students
Penn Career Services offers you four ways to connect to students in the School of Design. Career Connection Day Our annual, one-day career fair is held in the School of Design, Meyerson Hall, at the corner of 34th Street and Walnut every spring. Employers stand at tables and present information on their organization to students and recent graduates. Students can ask questions, discuss their interests and provide their resumes. The fair attracts employers from various design and planning fields, and over 300 students participated last year. Click here to see a list of employers who attended last year’s fair. Virtual Career Fair The PennDesign Virtual Career Fair, an online career fair, takes place for two weeks in the spring around the time of Career Connection Day. The online format of the fair will enable you to make contact with students even though your organization is unable to come to the traditional on-campus fair. During the fair, employers collect resumes electronically from students interested in their organization. This process is automated through PennLink, Career Services' job posting / resume collecting board. Through this process we hope that you will interview and hire qualified PennDesign students and recent graduates for positions with your firm. We request that employers either participate in PennDesign Career Connection Day or in the Virtual Fair, not both. Resume Books Career Services provides employers with digital resume books collected from PennDesign students. Each year employers use these books to reach out to students they are interested in meeting (often at the annual career fair). We create online, downloadable resume books for each degree-granting program of the School of Design (Architecture, City Planning, Fine Arts, Historic Preservation and Landscape Architecture) and divide resumes into those of students seeking full-time positions and those seeking summer employment. Students may also include design sheets when appropriate. The Resume Books are automated through PennLink, Career Services' job posting / resume collecting board. You may be interested in previewing current students’ work here: Architecture Advertise jobs and internships E-Mail Distribution List Career Services maintains a listserv of current graduate Design students who choose to receive our career-related e-mail and another of alumni with at least 5 years of post-graduation experience. Many employers forward individual job and internship announcements to us for distribution. Please send notices to Rachel Burk (rlburk@exchange.upenn.edu). School of Design Employer and Alumni Database Career Services maintains a database of all design employers who have had job-related contact with our office or the School of Design, and many others who have hired Penn alumni. Students can search this database from our website and use it to research employers and to network. Please contact Rachel Burk (rlburk@exchange.upenn.edu) if your organization would like to be included.
List your job on PennLink where it will be searchable to all university users. Your organization can post full-time, part-time and summer position announcements. In addition to forwarding e-mail announcements to us, posting on PennLink is a great way to inform students and alumni about your current openings. Through PennLink, your organization will be able to sign-up to attend the PennDesign Career Connection Day, participate in the Virtual Career Fair and view our resume books as well as list jobs.
