Job Search Resources

TLU Career Link for Students & Alumni

Career Development provides students and alumni with an online system for job search activities. TLU Career Link provides a convenient way to access the on-campus recruitment schedule and to stay informed about upcoming events and workshops.

Students and alumni have 24/7 access to easily register, search jobs, send online inquiries, and manage multiple resumes, cover letters, and other employment related documents.

Students and alumni use TLU Career Link to network with fellow alumni in the workforce and search for jobs, internships and volunteer opportunities. Students and alumni are encouraged to post their resume to TLU Career Link and update their profile on a regular basis.

On-Campus Recruiting

Students and alumni are welcome to attend Career Development sponsored fairs and employer spotlight tabling events publicized through TLU Career Link.

Resource Library

Not sure where to begin your job search? Career Development staff is happy to help you explore your options. We offer numerous resources in our office and online. We administer a variety of assessments in addition to our Resource Library, located within the office. The library is supplied with brochures, guides and books outlining different career paths.

Employers & Recruiters

Throughout the year we work directly with employers, graduate schools and nonprofits to host on-campus recruiting sessions to match your needs with the talents and career goals of TLU job seekers.

TLU Career Link for Employers & Recruiters

Employers can quickly and easily post jobs on campus, choose to receive “online applications” directly from the system with current resumes attached, sign up for career fairs and much more.

Recruiters, employers, and alumni are all welcome to use their employer account on TLU Career Link to post information online about available internships and full- or part-time opportunities. This is a great way to recruit talented students, soon-to-be-graduates, and alumni to your workplace.

On-Campus Recruiting

After a date is scheduled and room reservations have been made, your interview date and job posting are publicized via TLU Career Link where students and alumni can see when you will be on campus.
