Alumni Career Services

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. This free platform allows you to record answers to practice interview questions, review them yourself or share them with others in your network for feedback.
