How do I properly set “Eligibility” for the job posting?
Understanding the “Eligibility” section of the job posting is important as this will limit visibility of the posting to certain student/alumni groups. Please review the chart below and adjust your job posting accordingly.
| Student Group – Required (most eyes on your posting) Your selection will limit visibility of the posting to either graduate students/alumni with graduate degrees or undergraduate students/alumni with undergraduate degrees. If you’d like your posting to be available to both groups, select all. |
| Degree Level – Optional (choose a target audience) If you’d like to target your posting to specific degree levels, you can do so here. Please note, that this selection is an “AND” as opposed to an “OR” – therefore, whatever you select here will limit the posting further. For example, if you selected “Graduate” in the Student Group section, and “Masters” in the Degree Level section, only “Masters” students/alumni would be able to see your job posting. |
| Major/Academic Program – Optional (least eyes, most focused to reach a specific major) If you’d like to further limit visibility to your posting and get more targeted, you may select from the full list of Majors/Fields of Study. This is a multi-selection option so you may choose as many as you would like. Please note, that this selection is an “AND” as opposed to an “OR” – therefore, whatever you select here will limit the posting further. For example, if you selected “Graduate” in the Student Group section, and “Masters” in the Degree Level section, and “Economics” in the Major/Academic section, only master’s level Economics students/alumni would be able to view your posting. |
