[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am also going to put a plug in for the college recruiting office.  My DS used his - the staff helped him polish his resume, and worked with him on interviewing skills.  They DID NOT just handpick jobs for DS or talk to companies on behalf of DS.  He had to do quite a bit of work on his own.  Their number one recommendation was to network and DS was very hesitant to start the networking.  They guided him on how to do the networking.  The recruiting office did have some events where companies met with students.  But this was in the height of Covid restrictions so most of the events were online via zoom.

I'm on a parent Facebook page for my DS' college, and I was amazed how many parents complain about the recruiting office.  My DS found them invaluable but admitted that he had to be very proactive with the office and his job search.  DS spent probably 20 hours a week job searching starting about a year ago (totally serious) but it paid off.  He received three very generous offers in late October and turned down a fourth company that he was still in the interviewing process with.  [/quote]

College recruiting office at my DS's school is completely useless.  The people there did absolutely nothing.  Through connections from the university athletic office, DS got in touch with several big donors of the athletic program, DS was able to get a good paying job from one of the donors.  The most important thing to remember is not how much you know but who you know.
