An important facet of our Annual Orientation Program is the Career Forum. This event allows partnering companies the exclusive

opportunity to interview and network with new students for internship positions, second year students for career opportunities and

alumni who may be seeking employment or job transitions.

Here are tips for your OP Preparation to utilize our partnership to the fullest extent:

Fellowships are awarded in March and resumes of new students are available on The Consortium’s website by mid

May. We suggest that you explore the database to identify potential internship hires and contact these students

before the OP.

Use CGSM Online to reach out to students prior to the conference by letting them know you will be participating in OP

events and welcome them to The Consortium family. Targeted e-mail blasts need to be submitted to CGSM by May 29,

2015. *

Select the students whom you feel will best fit your organization’s environment. Let them know you plan to attend OP

and invite them to attend special events you will be sponsoring during the conference.

Invite them to visit your booth during the Career Forum, attend a panel on which your organization may be represented

or attend your sponsored private reception (if applicable).

Be sure to allow The Consortium alumni to recruit and represent your organization, as they will make a positive first

impression among the students.

We encourage the presence of your diversity and college relations officers and staffing executives, as well as your

senior level-hiring managers.

Keep the communications lines open. Invite targeted students to your campus for summer camps or other recruiting events to assist them in becoming familiar with your organization’s environment.

To Search Resumes:

Go to www.cgsm.org and click “Login to CGSM Online,” and select “Corporate Partners” to login. Corporate partners who do not have an existing account may create a new account by selecting “1st Time Users: Create a New Account” on the login screen. To search student resumes, select “Search Candidates” in the “Resume Database Subscriptions” section. Please contact Jeffrey Farris at [email protected] or 636-681-5452 for additional help.

Access the user’s guide from the “Important Messages” section of the dashboard.

Posting Jobs

Job Postings need to be completed online by May 29, 2015.
