Career Planning

Find Great Candidates Without Ever Leaving Your Office.

If you have a job opportunity you would like to publicize to Bowdoin students, Bowdoin Career Planning can post your listing through eRecruiting, our online career planning management system. Postings should be of an appropriate professional level (i.e. entry level or internship) as alumni do not have access to this jobs database. 

We are not able to advertise part-time, local positions or to post jobs and internships for individuals or independent contractors who do not represent an established employer, commission-only positions, or positions for which the qualifications are not an appropriate match to those of current Bowdoin students and graduating seniors.

Please send your job posting to Sean Sullivan '08, Employer Relations Coordinator, at recruit@bowdoin.edu or call 207-721-5601. For all postings, please be sure to include a contact name and email address, employer description, location, application requirements, requested materials and a deadline by which you would like to receive applications (30 days suggested).

Employers can also request direct access to our eRecruiting system, which allows employers to post and update jobs themselves.

We are also able to set up a Resume Referral via our eRecruiting system. This option allows students to apply for posted positions directly through our eRecruiting site. Since this option is particularly convenient for students, it may increase the number of applications you receive for a position. Applications can be emailed to the employer as they are received or in a bundle at the end of the application period. Resume referrals can be used in place of or in addition to an employer’s typical application process, or can be used by alumni or parent contacts as a means of pre-screening Bowdoin applications prior to submitting them officially to Human Resources for consideration.

If you would like to have your internship opportunity posted in our internship database (the primary search resource for our students), please email the following information to Dighton Spooner, (dspooner@bowdoin.edu) Associate Director of Career Planning: name of organization, description of organization and internship opportunity, dates of internship, compensation (if any), application materials required, application deadline, and information for primary contact person.

The Liberal Arts Career NetWORK provides a job and internship listing service that gives you the opportunity to reach over 60,000 students at 28 highly selective, small, private liberal arts colleges with just one posting, for free!
