Tips for Using IMDiversity.com

(1) Bookmark Our Jobs Center: Our job postings are updated a few times a day, so bookmark this page (IE users just click here) and stop back later if you don't immediately see an opportunity that interests you.

(2) Use My Job Tools: It's fast and free to create a "My Job Tools" account at IMDiversity.com.  You can custom-tailor and save your searches, then use the "My Job Agent" tool to program them to automatically notify you of any interesting new opportunities. With the "My Resume" tools, you can also add, edit, and store your resume and cover letters in a ready-to-go format whenever an opportunity meets your interests.

(3) Treat an Internship Like a Job: Reviewing the internship postings on IMDiversity, you'll see that many employers state that the internships, co-ops or summer jobs they offer may also allow the candidate to be considered for a permanent position.  Many more employers don't state this explicitly, but routinely look to their interns and part-timers as internal candidates for good positions in the future.  When applying to an opportunity on these pages, be sure to present your application materials in a professional manner, and always in the exact format an employer may specify in the job posting.

(4) Refine Your Search: After clicking any search link here, you can use the quick keyword search form beneath the first set of results on the next page to further narrow down your search with additional keywords suiting your interests.
