    NIU Career Services has several useful web resources available to NIU alumni, including “Huskies Get Hired,” NIU’s web-based job referral system, which provides access to over 1,000 internship and job postings at any time. We’ve also recently added career guidance specific to COVID-19 that we’ll be updating on a regular basis to help with your overall search process.  We want to draw special attention to Big Interview.
