Automated Jobs Emails

I'm sure some of you have found this feature already, but it's a bit buried and unpublicized. You can receive a daily, automatic email of new job postings from the OPD jobs database that fit your search criteria. I set it up over the Christmas break and there are many mid-tier and executive tier jobs that come through. It seems to be a significantly different mix than the job fairs OPD puts together.

You can narrow the criteria by both geographic region and industry, making it very useful overall.

To set up your search criteria and get the automatic emails, follow these directions.

• Log into the KSG Intranet site.
• Choose Directories / Maps ---- Student Profile Pages on the left menu.
• Click the tiny ‘my profile’ link in the far upper left of the page.
• Choose ‘Edit Profile’ from the list under your picture.
• Go to the ‘Job Search’ section. Fill out the search criteria and check the box “Please send me postings that match”. You get an automated email every night at 11:00 PM of the new postings that fit your criteria.
• Submit your changes.

While you're in here, you might want to look at the other options. I don't know how often the database is searched, but it can't hurt to have some basics entered and to have checked the security setup so your comfortable with what's being shared.

Happy hunting!

Classical Music in Harvard

I thought I might spread the news (if necessary) that there are loads of excellent classical concerts in Sanders Theatre (Memorial Hall).
Memorial Hall is the beautiful old building near the Science Center, right opposite the Graduate School of Design.
Students can buy 2 tickets for $8 during student rush or order by phone for the regular price.
