From a Distance Involvement Opportunities
Career ConnectionsLIVE
In person visits are not the only way to interact face-to-face with students. If you’re interested in connecting with students in a group setting to provide information about your organization and its opportunities but you can’t physically make it to our Stillwater campus, Career Services will work with you to facilitate a Career ConnectionsLIVE event using a virtual platform. Scheduling a virtual Career ConnectionsLIVE event may be done by emailing fergusoninfo@okstate.edu.
NOTE: A minimum of three (3) weeks advance notice is required to fulfill Career ConnectionsLIVE requests.
The Hire System
The Hire System is OSU’s career opportunity search engine for students. Employers may post an unlimited number of jobs, co-ops or internships for viewing by current students and alumni. Through the Hire System you may also access and browse résumés of students actively engaged in the job/internship search process. If you have opportunities you would like to post or want to search student résumés, visit the employer menu at hireosugrads.com.
Host a Tour
As we strive to prepare students for the real world, a powerful preparation strategy is to provide students the chance to observe and experience the real world environment. You can help create that chance to observe and experience by inviting a student group or class for a site tour of a business location or facility. If you are interested in hosting a group or class, contact our office at (405) 744-9464 or fergusoninfo@okstate.edu, and we will help you extend your invitation and coordinate plans with your target group or class.
Many organizations use LinkedIn as a part of their talent acquisition strategy, and Career Services coaches students on the value of professionally networking online through the LinkedIn platform. The Oklahoma State University Ferguson College of Agriculture also has a LinkedIn page. We encourage you to follow us to stay up to date on our career-related event and activity opportunities, and we invite you to engage with our content to increase your organization’s visibility among our students, faculty and alumni followers.
Alumni Fire
Do you have Oklahoma State University alumni working in your organizations? Encourage them to become an online networking contact and mentor through AlumniFire. This free alumni connection platform facilitates members connections for the purpose of networking and gaining perspectives on topics ranging from industry insight to relocation and more. Encouraging your OSU Cowboy employees to connect with their fellow Cowboys can be a great strategy for helping other OSU students and alumni learn about and see a possible future with your organization. It’s all available at okstate.alumnifire.com.
