The Office of Career Services at Mercer County Community College...
- Offers local area employers a number of free services to help with employment needs.
- Gives employers access to a pool of qualified applicants.
- Provides MCCC students who have up-to-date knowledge and skills in many areas (see Programs of Study
(degree and certificate)
for more details). Many students also have prior work experience.
Internet Job Postings
Post your jobs on the Internet through our
service provided exclusively to Mercer students
by the College Central Network (CCN).
Through this service, employers can list jobs
by completing a simple registration form. These
postings are available exclusively to MCCC students
and alumni, who can also post their resumes. To use
this service, you may register through the Career
Services office at 609-586-4800 ext. 3304 or directly
on the Internet at College Central Network.
This method, yielding the widest audience and
distribution, is best suited for career opportunity
positions, especially if you are looking for recent
graduates and alumni. Also, alumni are less likely
to visit our office/campus and view the "hard copy"
postings described in the second alternative.
Campus-Wide Job Postings
Through this method, you would create a one-page "flier" which can be e-mailed as an attachment to
careers@mccc.edu, faxed to us at 609-570-3880 or mailed
to us at the West Windsor Campus at MCCC, PO Box B, Trenton, NJ 08690. Fliers will be posted
at both the West Windsor and
James Kerney campuses. In selecting this method, we
request that you follow these guidelines:
- Please specify job title, name of your
organization, job duties, skills required, location,
hours, part-time or full-time, contact person,
phone and fax numbers, e-mail address.
- Your listing will attract more attention if
you use large fonts, boldface, include color
or artwork as well as list important
information such as job duties,
responsibilities, hourly wages and/or salary.
- Since current students (rather than alumni)
are most likely to see postings on campus,
we suggest this method for part-time
or seasonal employment.
Cooperative Education / Internships
Cooperative education/internship placements can
link students in our career and transfer programs
(see degree and certificate
Program listings) to career opportunities by
placing them in jobs that give them related work
experience before they graduate; and internships,
in many cases, can qualify for academic credit.
Company participation in these programs can help
reduce recruiting and training costs as well as
provide a continuous source of candidates.
Please contact Career Services staff to find
out more information about these placements.
Job Fairs and Employer Recruiting Visits
The college holds job fairs
during the fall and spring semesters, each tied
to one or more career program. In addition, you
may arrange to set up a recruiting visit on campus
through the Career Services staff.
