What is OrangeLink?

OrangeLink is a web-accessible database system SU and ESF students can use to connect to:

+ On-campus recruitment announcements
+ Online application processes coordinated through the Center for Career Services
+ Internship opportunities
+ Off-campus interviewing opportunities
+ Entry level positions nationwide
+ Upstate New York job listings
+ Employer presentations
+ Information about career fairs, workshops, and other career-related events
+ Alumni mentors
+ Research materials on careers, industries, employers, salaries and more!

How can students learn how to use OrangeLink?

Workshops are offered periodically by the Center for Career Services and members of the Career Services Network. Checking the Calendar of Events on this site will alert students to programs already scheduled. Individual assistance can always be obtained at the Center (235 Schine Center) and in the career offices in students' home colleges.

Why should students use OrangeLink during their years at SU?

Aside from the obvious benefits of access to the items above, OrangeLink also facilitates the career advising that occurs across the Career Services Network. Career services professionals can track their involvements with students, examine their resumes online, connect students to additional university resources, and take a more proactive outreach effort toward both individual as well as groups of students. OrangeLink provides a beneficial complement to the specific assistance and activities that are provided in the college-based career offices and in the all-university offices of the Network.

When should a student connect with OrangeLink?

Ideally students should be interacting with the Career Services Network in their first year at Syracuse, so their interaction with OrangeLink enhances and expands their other career-related activities. Activating an OrangeLink presence should help students to take maximum advantage of the career-related resources, services, events and advising at SU.
