May 2017 Graduation Dear Juniors and Seniors,
We have partnered with Career Services to give our junior and senior majors access to Wildcat Joblink. Wildcat JobLink is a state-of-the-art career management tool, offering UA students access to jobs, internships, and a range of other services including campus interviewing and resume referrals.
To access JobLink, please visit the Career Services website at https:// www.career.arizona.edu/joblink. All you need is your NETID and password to login and take advantage of these great services.
Why is SGPP only funding juniors and seniors to have access to JobLink? The funding comes from SGPP Program Fees, which only our junior and senior majors pay. If you are a freshman or sophomore, you are welcome to register and pay the annual $5 fee out of pocket. Visit https://www.career.arizona.edu/joblink to register.
I will be a junior at the end of the current semester. When can I have access? SGPP will be requesting access for any students who have reached 60+ credits each semester after the census date (the 21st day of the semester). So, if you will have 60+ completed credits at the end of this semester, you will be granted access next semester after the census date. If you have any questions, please email ahackett@email.arizona.edu .

Please join the U.S Department of State for Spring Career Days and their Information Session to learn more about their opportunities. Spring Career Days Date: March 7, 2017 Time: 11:00am - 4:00pm Location: Student Union Grand Ballroom (3rd Floor) Information Session Date: March 8, 2017 Time: 4:00pm - 5:00pm Location: Career Services, CIC, Room 411 (4th Floor) The U.S. Department of State’s Diplomats in Residence for the Southwest (DIRs) Kenneth P. Chavez will be attending Spring Career Days and having an Information Session regarding traditional careers in the Foreign Service as well as their new hiring program the Consular Fellows Program. The Consular Fellows Program offers candidates a unique opportunity to serve their country, utilize their foreign language skills, and develop valuable skills and experience that will serve them well in follow-on professions. Consular Fellows serve in U.S. embassies and consulates overseas alongside Foreign Service Officers, other U.S. agency personnel, and locally-employed staff. Using their language skills in Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Russian, or French, their primary duty is to adjudicate visas for foreign nationals. Duties and responsibilities are similar to those of entry-level career Foreign Service Officers. While at post, Consular Fellows are members of the embassy or consulate community and receive many of the same benefits that career Foreign Service members receive, such as housing and educational allowances for eligible family members. Information can be found at https://careers.state.gov/work/foreign-service/ consular-fellows/ We look forward to seeing you! University of Arizona Career Services
