New Roo Career Network Feature Available

Guest blogger- Beth Medley, Associate Director

Recommended Jobs with Smart Matching is now available in Roo Career Network.  Based on your job and internship searches, Roo Career Network is now able to recommend additional positions to review.  When you view a specific job, similar jobs to that one are shown at the bottom of the page.  Recommended jobs are also listed in your Announcement section.

A “Recommended Jobs” tab is now available in the Jobs section as well.  When you pull up a recommended job, you will see a Job Match score for each position indicating how strong of a match the position is for you. 

If you are interested in learning more about this feature and other features in your Roo Career Network account, please contact Career Services at 816.235.1636.  We are located in the Atterbury Student Success Center, 2nd floor and appointments may be requested directly in your Roo Career Network account.
