Employers from a variety of industries and locations are encouraged to join
the recruiting program. No matter how hard we try to attract a wide range
of employers, only a small fraction - those who have substantial resources and
hiring needs - will commit to on-campus recruiting. Many organizations,
such as social service organizations, scientific and law firms, government
agencies, publishing houses, and public relations firms, prefer to have
individuals contact them directly to indicate their interest. These
employers will post jobs in DartBoard.
The 'Job Search' link lists thousands of positions with U.S. and
international organizations specifically seeking Dartmouth students, as
compared to about 200 employers in the Recruiting Program link in the
DartBoard site. The 'Active Recruiting Events' menu on the 'Recruiting
Program' toolbar is where you will find all information related to
upcoming recruiting program opportunities.
- Enrolled A.B. students of Dartmouth College
- Graduating B.E., M.E.M., M.S. and Ph.D. students from Thayer School of
Engineering
- Graduate students in Arts and Sciences
Only enrolled students may participate. Once you have graduated, you are no
longer eligible.
If you are OFF CAMPUS
For RESUME DROPS
Off campus students may use DartBoard to apply, as these employers already
plan to interview via phone or off-campus locations.
For ON-CAMPUS/PRESELECT interviews
Only students who are currently ON CAMPUS may apply for ON-CAMPUS interviews
via DartBoard.
Most employers are willing to schedule phone interviews OR interviews in
another location for off-campus students.
If you are off campus and interested in an ENTRY-LEVEL
ON-CAMPUS INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITY, e-mail your application
materials DIRECTLY to the employer, using the e-mail address that appears in
the detailed job description in DartBoard. Explain that you are currently
off campus. Do NOT apply via DartBoard.
If you are off campus and applying for an INTERNSHIP,
follow the instructions for off campus students provided in the qualifications
section of each job/internship description. Each employer has
specified how off-campus students should apply for internships.
Resume Drops
Through our online recruiting system, DartBoard,
Career Services collects and forwards resumes/cover letters of interested
students to employers. Employers then contact selected students DIRECTLY
(within 3 weeks of the submission deadline) to arrange interviews via telephone
or AT THEIR OFFICES. During fall and winter terms, resume drop deadlines
correspond with on-campus interview deadlines. During spring term, a brief
announcement of each upcoming Resume Drop and its deadline will be posted on
the "Career Services" or "Career Services-Entry-Level Jobs" blitz bulletin, as
opportunities arise.
On-Campus Interviews
While the majority of entry-level on-campus interviewing occurs during Fall
Term, recruiting occurs at lower levels during Winter, Spring and Summer terms,
for employers with later hiring cycles. Internship recruiting occurs year
round. See Dartmouth
Recruiting Calendar, and access our online system, DartBoard, to
browse opportunities and apply online. Career fields represented in our program
include: Marketing, Communications/Media, Health/Science, Education, Public
Service, Consulting, Financial Services, Information Technology, Law, and
Public Policy/Politics/Government.
