Think LinkedIn meets
Gustavus.
This is more or less
GustieJobs; the Center for Servant Leadership’s newest job-searching aid
offered on the Career Development page of the Gustavus website. The site is
much like LinkedIn, but is specifically made with Gusties in mind. As a
Gustavus student, you are already signed up to use the site; however, your
profile must be updated and completed before you can start connecting with
potential employers. The site includes job and internship listings with options
that help to narrow your search; you can also sort through the lists searching
by the date posted, level of experience needed, and when the internship will
take place.
Once you set up your
profile, you can upload your résumés,
cover letters, and other documents for potential employers to see. By putting
these documents on the GustieJobs website, you can also have CSL advisors check
them over to ensure they are presentable. Another helpful tool on the site is
the events calendar that allows you to connect directly to the CSL calendar.
You can add any of the events to your own personalized calendar to help you
stay organized. For those Gusties who already have a LinkedIn profile and worry
about maintaining two job profiles, there is no need to worry: you can connect
the two together so you only have to maintain one.
Overall, the site is relatively easy to navigate and offers a wide range
of benefits to Gustavus students. Employers who have jobs posted on GustieJobs
are looking specifically for Gustavus students, so this offers the perfect way
to make a connection. The set-up is quick and relatively
self-explanatory; simply type in “career development” on the Gustavus website
and click the icon that says “GustieJobs” in the top, right corner. If you have
any questions, feel free to stop by the CSL for help.
