What to Do Now

• Look at the list of participating organizations on the ECCD website to see if there are any organizations that interest you.
• Have your resume and cover letters reviewed. You can call x2311 to make an apointment with a counselor or come to Walk-Ins Monday through Friday, 10am-4pm.
• If you don't have a resume yet or need help getting started with cover letters, check out the 'How-To' section of the OCC website and the videos.
• Research the organizations by going to their website and use OCC Resources such as WetFeet and Vault. Don't take this step lightly. Recruiters will know if you did your homework!
• Once you've decided you want to participate in ECCD, upload your resume and other documents required by the employer into the ECCD site by clicking on "Documents" at the top of the page. Don't wait til the last minute!!! Something may go wrong and if it's 7pm on February 15th, you won't get the help you need.
• You will find these requirements in the "How to Apply" section of the job description.
• To upload your transcript go to http://www.williams.edu/Registrar/selfreg/PS89_APR.html to request a copy of your internal transcript emailed to you and save it on your desktop. You can then click on "Documents" in the ECCD system and under "Upload Documents", choose "Other Documents" and browse for your transcript on your desktop. You can see an example under "Sample Documents" on the upload page.
• Except for your transcript, that will be sent to you as a pdf document, upload documents in Word and let the system convert them to pdf--just to be sure problems don't arise.

• You can apply online for up to 13 half-hour interview slots.
