Career Center - 4 pillars

You have joined a school with strong defining principles, focused on helping you achieve academic and career success.  Haas and the Cal Career Center are your partners in all phases of your career development while you are at Haas.

We divide this partnership into four key pillars:

1. Callisto: Your gateway to jobs, program events and much, much more
2. Counseling: your personalized job/internship-search and professional development partner
3. OCR: On-Campus Recruiting – motivated employers meeting motivated applicants
4. Resources: Tools and people  - impress by being well-prepared and knowledgeable

Callisto brings you the latest updates to keep you on task and in the know.  Not all employers hire through OCR; many post positions are advertised  just on Callisto.  It is important to monitor Callisto to ensure you do not miss these opportunities.
On Callisto you can:

• Set up search agents to inform you when relevant positions are posted
• Sign up for easy, one-stop access to almost all online Career Center services and event sign ups
• Subscribe to receive regular CareerMail emails

Throughout the year the Career Center holds a variety of career fairs.  These attract a diverse and wide range of employers, yet not all of them are part of OCR.  Companies often give Information Sessions as well – an opportunity to network with company representatives and learn first-hand about their career options.  Watch Callisto and CareerMails for details.
