• Online Job Board
  QCC's online job search tool is available for all QCC students and alumni. You have 24/7 access to this secure system with the ability to review available job and co-op postings, and apply for positions.
  
  
• Virtual Job Interview
  The virtual job interview, developed by a college career counselor, is a simulation of a conversation between a job candidate and an interviewer. A wide range of questions and answers is explored until ultimately the user is either hired, put on file, or has his or her application torn up on the spot! This interactive practice interviewing is a must for any job seeker serious about landing the job.
