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

• On-campus recruitment announcements and online application processes
• 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, employers, industries
• Self help materials on job search and related topics

How can students learn how to use it?

Workshops are offered periodically by Network members. Checking the web site for the Center for Career Services 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 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 should coincide with their other career-related activities. Students who are unsure about what those activities might be should review the Network's 6 stage career development model to assess where they are in their career development process and should take actions accordingly.
