Employers in industry, government and education are invited to subscribe to PES-Careers. PES-Careers targets full-time or part-time employment opportunities for students enrolled in or graduating from an institution of higher education. Employers can also post career experience opportunities for students (such as internships). PES-Careers is a service principally for entry-level positions. The IEEE JobSite is recommended for advertising job opportunities for experienced engineers.

Employers use PES-Careers to promote and enhance their own recruiting methods. Here are alternative approaches for employer use of PES-Careers.

• List in the Employer Directory. This lets students know that the employer hires students for power engineering positions. The listing provides basic information about the organization. This is free advertising for the employer's own on-line recruiting efforts.

• Post job and career experience openings. This approach quickly gets the word out about new job or career experience opportunities. Students choosing to receive automatic notification of new job postings on PES-Careers will hear about the new opportunities on the same day they are posted!

• Search for students based on desired job applicant attributes. Students can allow potential employers to easily and efficiently search their personal profiles and resumes to find students the employers would like to contact about a job opening.

• Screen job applications. Want to limit applications to students with certain credentials, interests, locations or degrees? PES-Careers can do this if you wish.

Employers do not have to change they way they receive job applications if they use PES-Careers. In each job posting, an employer provides application instructions that could include asking students to use the employer's usual on-line application process.

A Request to Employers

IEEE PES offers PES-Careers as a free service. In return, IEEE PES makes an important request of employers: please encourage and enable your new power and energy engineers to enhance their professional development by becoming IEEE PES members. Give them time to attend chapter meetings. Support attendance at PES events. Recognize their membership in performance reviews. Even consider contributing to their cost of IEEE membership. This support will build their contact network with other engineers, increase their technical knowledge, and improve their overall professionalism - thereby improving their job productivity and satisfaction.
