Viterbi Career Gateway

Viterbi Career Gateway and connectSC are separate job portals.

connectSC

• Available to all USC alumni and currently enrolled students
• Contains opportunities for all majors
• Managed by the main Career Center (Student Union 110)
• Our recommendation: supplement your job/internship search with connectSC, as some employers looking for engineers or other related disciplines may post jobs on this main portal.

Viterbi Career Gateway

• Available to Viterbi students only
• Contains engineering-specific opportunities
• Managed by Viterbi Career Connections (RTH 218)
• Our recommendation: most engineering opportunities will be found on Viterbi Career Gateway. Utilize it fully during your job/internship search.

On-campus recruiting (OCR) allows you to view and apply for opportunities that will conduct interviews in the Viterbi Career Connections office (RTH 218). 

Eligibility

• Available for currently enrolled Viterbi students only
• Students must create a Viterbi Career Gateway account and submit a Viterbi OCR contract

Please note that the Viterbi OCR contract is separate from the connectSC OCR contract. You must fill out both OCR contracts to take part in both OCR programs. 

Common reasons include:

• You do not meet the job requirements. Qualifications are set by the employer and are based on four key criteria: applicant type, degree, major, graduation date, and work authorization. All candidates must meet the listed criteria to apply. Disqualifications will be displayed at the top of the job posting in red. Falsifying accout information to meet job requirements may result in account suspension.
• Your profile may be incorrectly filled out. Verify that all account information is accurate.
• You aren't looking in the right place. Viterbi Career Gateway has two search databases: the on-campus recruiting (OCR) database and the jobs database (non-OCR positions). Make sure to search in both databases.
• You have not filled out your Viterbi on-campus recruitment contract. You must complete the contract to access and qualify for OCR positions. If you have not completed the contract, Viterbi Career Gateway will indicate that you do not match the desired Applicant Type. Complete the contract here. Please note that the contract may take 3-5 business days to process.
• The job posting contains an error. Please contact Viterbi Career Connections via email (vcareers@usc.edu), phone (213-740-9677) or a walk-in (RTH 218).

The employer will select you for an interview after reviewing your submitted resume on Viterbi Career Gateway. If selected, you will receive an email notification that will allow you to sign up for a timeslot.

You are committed to the interview after registering for a timeslot. Failure to attend will subject you to the Cancellation or No-Show Policy outlined in the Viterbi OCR contract.

Required majors are set by employers and informed by specific qualifications. Our office does not have the authority to change the required major screening criteria. If you believe there is an error or that your major should be included, contact us via email (vcareers@usc.edu), phone (213-740-9677), or visit our office (RTH 218), and we can communicate with the employer on your behalf.
