Employers: FAQ about Posting a Job at APSU

What kind of jobs are APSU students seeking?

Current, full-time students are usually looking for part-time work in the Clarksville, TN area. Because of class schedules, employers who have some flexibility in their hours are in high demand. Child care, office work and general labor are popular with students.

Students who are near graduation may be seeking full time employment in their field. Entry level professional opportunities for candidates with a bachelor's are ideal for these individuals. Some alumni are willing to relocate, but a number have ties to middle Tennessee and are hoping to settle here.

I need people with a degree in a specific field; can you help?

We maintain credentials files for students and alumni who are actively seeking a job. A credentials file contains a resume, references and other pertinent employment information. If you have a job requiring a specific background, you can call or e-mail our office, and we will check our files for you. If we have candidates who are a match, we will forward their resumes and references to you.

Employers who have an ongoing need for employees with specific degrees can be added our credentials file database. We periodically review student and alumni credential files and refer qualified candidates to companies in the database. Please call (931) 221-6544 for more information.

Even if you are requesting credentials files, it is worthwhile to post a job announcement with us. Our office serves many students and alumni who may not have current file.

Do you form partnerships with employers?

We do not establish contractual relationships with employers. However, many recruiters send us job openings regularly. We also maintain a contact list of employers, and we send occasional information about recruitment opportunities at APSU. To add your company to the list, please call our office at (931) 221-6544.

Do you host any Career Fairs?

We sure do! We participate in the Nashville Area Career Fairs every February.

I am not able to come to the Nasville Area Career Fairs. Are there other ways to recruit on campus?

Although the Career Fair is an excellent value for recruiters, we realize that not everyone can make it. Therefore, we do offer on-campus recruiting throughout the school year. Please visit the On-campus Recruiting homepage for more information.
