The Career Development Center is making it easier for employers to find employees, thanks to a makeover of its Griffons4Hire online\u00a0career management portal, missouriwestern.edu\/careerdevelopment, last month.<\/p>\n
Dr. Vincent Bowhay, the center\u2019s director, said he and his staff have worked to make the site more user-friendly and intuitive for both employers seeking new hires and students and alumni who are looking for jobs. That included a mobile-friendly version, as well.
\nEmployers are invited to post job openings on the site for free, and they can arrange for on-campus interviews or information sessions.<\/p>\n
Dr. Bowhay said the site is not just for students, alumni at any stage of their careers are welcome to visit the site and take advantage of the resources it offers.<\/p>\n
The center\u2019s website also offers several resources, including interview and resume tips and access to\u00a0CareerSpots\u00a0career tips. It also includes over\u00a0100 free career-readiness videos.<\/p>\n
Dr. Bowhay has been visiting with several employers in the community to find out what their needs are and how ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ Western can meet those needs, and he would like to meet more business leaders. \u201cPartnerships with the community is how we want to operate. That is key.\u201d<\/p>\n
