In order to take advantage of these resources students and graduates will create a user profile at http://www.collegecentral.com/oru. The Career Services conducts bi-weekly workshops on vital career skills such as Resume Development, Successful Interviewing Techniques, Career Search Strategies, and Networking. The Career Services also maintains an online listing of career opportunities and contact information from various employers and alumni seeking graduates. The Career Services maintains a computer lab with links and special resources designed for career search activities. The lab may also be used to draft resumes and apply for positions offered on-line.
