• Student Access to Southern Job Network

The Southern Job Network (SJN) is a job database that students can use to upload their resumes and cover letters as well as search throughout our job and internship listings. Students can also request that their resume be posted in various resume books included on the site. These resume books are then viewed by approved employers when looking to fill a job in a related field.
