What is the Résumé Referral Program?
This is a résumé matching system that will help you get your job search underway and directly links you with employers. The Career Services Center matches the resumes of students enrolled in the Résumé Referral Program with employers who request a match with their incoming, full-time, professional-level positions. By doing so, we enhance your job search and provide a very rapid response time for employers.

Who may participate?
The Résumé Referral Program is open to California State University, Stanislaus seniors (students who will graduate by June). We also provide this service to recent alumni (alumni within six months of their graduation date).

How does the Program work?
In order to participate, you must have your resume reviewed. Complete any recommended changes to your resume, and download your finalized résumé to your online profile at CareerTRAK.
It’s that easy!

Once you are registered.
Once you are registered for the Résumé Referral Program, we will begin to match your resume with incoming job opportunities.

When employers call or FAX us job opportunities, we then match Résumé Referral Program participants’ resumes to specific position requirements. We fax or email copies of matches resumes directly to the employer.

How do I get started?
You need to create a résumé! If you have a résumé, call or stop by the Career Services Center to schedule an appointment to have it reviewed by a staff counselor.

If you do not have a résumé, stop by the Career Services Center to pick up the Résumé Writing guidelines or review the How to Write a Résumé.pdf guide. Then call to schedule an appointment for a review.

Do I still need to do a formal job search?
Using the Résumé Referral Program is only one resource in an effective job search. The Career Services Center offers a variety of programs, including our on-campus interviews and career fair to support you in the job search process. Be sure to incorporate several of these in your job search strategy. The Career Services Center staff members can also work with you to create an individual job search strategy.
