It’s like we always say here at Career Services, “if you’re looking for
a job, use the search engine made for CU students: Career Buffs!” - or
something along those lines. Career
Buffs is your online resource for internships, jobs, and careers specifically
designated for CU students and alumni.
Thousands of businesses use Career Buffs for listing opportunities every
year and is an incredible tool for success.
Let’s check out one of the best features of Career Buffs; setting up
job agents.
Gone are the days of looking for jobs every day in the boring pages of
newspapers. Job agents are customizable job searches that notify you whenever a
job of interest is posted on Career Buffs.
Job agents can be defined by many characteristics including job
category, experience, position, major, location, industry and much more!
To get one or more job agents set up for your account, log onto Career
Buffs. On the yellow bar toward the top
of your screen you’ll see a drop-down labeled “Job Search.” Click it and it’ll
take you to the search engine screen.
Here, you can choose to do a basic search or refine your results with an
advanced search. Play with the various
options for narrowing your job search until you’ve found a setting that best
suits your interests. Note that many
employers choose to include very specific majors in their job listings even
when the job is available to anyone so the “Major” subcategory may not be the
best field to use.
Once you’ve found a search
you like, scroll down to your “Job Results.”
Under this heading you can select “save search” and “email me new jobs
for this search” to keep your results. Now go get some jobs!
