Personal Information
Career Services at the University of Arizona is committed to providing its users good privacy practices regarding electronic personal information. We operate computer systems that are developed by our technical group and also partner with external organizations for our job listings, resume database and On-Campus Interviewing services. Information collected by systems is used to provide and tailor services to our customers and for program planning purposes. Information is also used to construct aggregate reports for federal, state and other fund granting agencies, as well as internal institutional studies.
Data collected by Career Services for in-house systems are stored in a secure SQL server in Career Services. Collection and access to student information is governed by the following campus and federal policies:
Job listings, resume services and campus interviewing are provided through the NACElink Network. UA Career Services partners with the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), a nonprofit professional organization for career centers and employers, Direct Employers Association, a nonprofit association of national employers, and Symplicity Corporation, to offer these services. Resumes and profiles of students and alumni participating in any of these services reside on the NACElink servers. There are two resume data bases in the NACElink system; a central global resume database and a local resume database. Resumes of students and alumni will be automatically placed in the local resume database. Students and alumni will have the option to place their resume in the central global resume database.
Jobs posted on the NACElink system may or may not be reviewed before posting. Site users are urged to validate job postings and use caution and common sense when applying. Do not disclose social security numbers, credit card information or bank account numbers to unknown employers. For details on their privacy practices, please review the NACElink Privacy Policy and the Direct Employers Privacy Policy. All privacy policies for our partners have been reviewed by Career Services.
