MOR Job Board
by Kate McCann

Worried that the door to career assistance will shut when you walk across the stage at graduation? Never fear, alumni. If you use the McCombs Online Resources Job Board, you won’t be left out in the cold.

The MOR Job Board helps connect employers with current McCombs students and McCombs alumni through a detailed electronic bulletin board, facilitating the job search both during college and after graduation.

MJB differs from the online recruiting system of the McCombs Ford Career Center and accessUT because of the detailed postings and flexibility of job searches. Applicants speak directly with employers instead of being screened by a third party, and employers can reach alumni or students when filling a position immediately or when working outside of semester time frames.

The job board was created after several employers requested a mechanism to specifically target McCombs alumni. Now, employers can post positions that designate whether current students or alumni are eligible and details about whether the job is full time or part time, salaried, commission-based or unpaid. Resumes are submitted according to the preference of the employer, by mail, fax or e-mail. Alumni are also allowed to post positions and have a special Longhorn icon to designate their connection with the university.

Unlike the FCC’s online recruiting system, which is accessible only to current students, job seekers using the MJB are not screened based on employee preferences of specific graduation dates or specialties. The FCC system is required to adhere to strict criteria, and employers should use this method when trying to reach students within the academic time frame.

accessUT is available to the entire university community and is suitable to use when a job posting is cross-disciplinary between majors.
