Switch from eRecruiting to NACELink this Summer

On June 30th, 2014 our contract with eRecruiting will expire and has not been renewed. We are in the process of installing a new system (NACE Link / Symplicity) which will be titled Leatherneck Link. This is currently under construction with a completion deadline of within 6 to 8 weeks. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause to our students, employers, and alumni.  We will inform you of more updates about Leatherneck Link.

Services for Alumni

The Career Development Center provides alumni with many of the services that we offer to current students.

  • Thinking of switching jobs or career paths? We can guide you through the decision-making and goal setting process.
  • Applying for a promotion at work? We can critique your resume, curriculum vitae, cover letter, and other application materials.
  • Need to brush up on your interviewing skills? Schedule a mock interview with a staff member via telephone, Skype, or face-to-face.

Call our office at (309) 298-1838 to schedule a face-to-face or telephone appointment. We are open Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and are located in Memorial Hall 125. For more alumni services through Western Illinois University, visit the Alumni Association website.
