TG's JobGusher^® helping students and grads find jobs

Looking for a new way to help your students and recent graduates find work — whether it's a full-time or part-time job, or even an internship or work-study opportunity?

Look no further. JobGusher^®, TG's online job recruitment service, is dedicated to connecting students and recent graduates with employers offering employment opportunities and internships.

JobGusher offers a variety of resources that schools can use to help their students find work, including a customized career services page that schools can use as a clearinghouse for on-campus and work-study jobs. Students can browse the job listings and even apply for the jobs online.

"Our goal is to assist students in making the connection with the employers seeking to recruit them," said Humphrey Marr, director of JobGusher.

School-sponsored job fairs
The JobGusher team has been busy this semester attending 30 college- and university-sponsored job fairs. Representatives from JobGusher meet with students and encourage them to complete an online profile. The profile is then posted on the JobGusher Web site where employers can view potential job candidates. In addition, students can use JobGusher's resume writing tool to complete their resume to apply for jobs online.

Schools can use JobGusher to host an online job fair that "mirrors" their campus job fairs for students who are unable to attend the live fair. Employers from the job fair are able to list their employment opportunities through the school's fair on JobGusher, and students are able to apply for those jobs online.

Online career fairs
In addition, JobGusher brings job candidates and employers together via their unique online career fairs.

Online career fairs run for two weeks each and focus on targeted career fields, seasonal employment, or internships. Students can submit their applications to employers online and search thousands of positions targeted at in-school and graduating students.

The following is a list of upcoming online career fairs:
