Tips for Success
- Keep your profile within Cornell CareerNet (CCNet) up to date at all times.
- Make sure you have a résumé that’s targeted for each kind of job you're applying for, and remember to submit the appropriate resume for the job!
- Learn how to navigate the CCNet system and to use the search features efficiently.
- Check CCNet regularly for your status. Especially if you’re designated an alternate by an employer, be sure to keep track of important dates.
- Some employers will request that you submit a copy of your transcript. You’ll need to create a text document of your grades, since the Cornell Registrar does not provide electronic versions of transcripts. To do this:
- go to Bear Access
- click on Student Services folder
- click on JTF (Just the Facts) folder; enter your netid and password
- click on Grades in left-side bar; if bar is not bolded, press Continue at the bottom of your screen and click on Grades again
- select All Grades
- copy and paste your grades into a Microsoft Word (or other text) document and save it
- upload your transcript document into CCNet (see CCNet basics if you need instructions)
- Sometimes you might find that you're unable to submit a résumé for a job you're interested in. The most common reasons this happens are:
- Your graduation date doesn't fall within the range of dates the employer specified.
- Your employment eligibility doesn't match employer's requirements.
- Your educational level is not what the employer is interviewing for.
- For correspondence about recruiting in ILR and any questions or problems you're having with CCNet, use ILRrecruiting@cornell.edu.
- Use OCS staff as a resource. We’re here to help you at any stage of your job search!
