Registration Entry

Employers will search this information, as well as the degrees you are obtaining. Be as thorough and complete as possible.
Resume Entry
- From your homepage, click Upload a Resume. You must have a resume completed on disk at this time to upload. Browse the file, select it, then click Upload your resume.
- STOP and THINK: although employers are initially screened prior to posting jobs with Sierra Job Link, you may want to limit your contact information to phone & email only; be wary of giving out too much personal information on ANY internet site.
- Always keep a back -up copy of your resume—do not use Sierra Job Link to store your only copy.
Job Search
- From your homepage, click Search for Jobs Posted to My School, enter criteria specific to the type of job you are looking for on the search form, click, Begin Search.
When conducting a job search, be aware that by selecting several search criteria, such as Degree, Area of Interest, FT/PT jobs, etc., you are narrowing your search. It is a good idea to conduct a focused search, but you may also want to try searching different criteria. To view all jobs posted, leave all the search fields blank.
