BYU BRIDGE
BYU Bridge is an online resource that connects BYU students to employers and allows users to search job listings, apply
for jobs, communicate with recruiters, and sign up for on-campus interviews.
Tips for Using BYU Bridge
Complete your profile
Resume Books
Make sure your profile is current and correct, especially
your phone number, email address, major, graduation
date, and GPA. If your profile information matches what
an employer is looking for, you may receive an email encouraging you to apply.
Help employers find you by putting your resume in an eRecruiting
resume book. There are books based on industry, major, etc... Being in a book allows employers to see your qualifications without
you even submitting your resume to them. It doesn’t get much
easier than that!
Stay in the loop!
Search for events
Companies are coming to campus and recruiting all the
time! Want to receive weekly emails from Career Services about their jobs and visits? Easy! Login to BYU
Bridge, click on Profile and then View/Edit Profile Data.
On the Personal Information page click on the Administration tab, then click on Edit your Administration Information. Once there, select “Yes” under “Would you like
to receive Email From the Career Center.”
Information sessions are a great way to learn more about an organization and start networking. Information sessions are found under
the Calendar tab. Workshops, fairs, and other events are also
listed on this calendar (and the homepage!)
Upload your resume
To apply for jobs, you need to have at least one resume in
BYU Bridge. To add a resume, click on “Upload a Document” under the Documents tab and follow the on-screen
instructions. Remember, your resume needs to be saved as
a DOC, RTF, or PDF.
Search for opportunities
Use the job search box on the home page, or click on
“Job/Internship Search” under the Jobs and Internships
tab. You can search by keyword, industry, location, major, etc. Don’t forget to save your custom searches to
save time in the future.
Review your applications
Go to the Applications tab to view your past applications. You will
see if you have been accepted for an interview, or you can withdraw your resume from a position you are no longer interested in.
