Qualified students often find jobs prior to graduation. Notices of available positions sent to the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture are posted on the job placement bulletin boards located in the hallway next to room HORT 210. These notices include full- and part-time positions, summer and internship opportunities. Interview schedules also are posted on the bulletin board. A notebook is kept in the Student Services Office, room HORT 207A of all full-time positions. Faculty advisers are often helpful in "matching" the student to the job. Many students find full-time employment with organizations that have employed them during previous summers. Many students following their internship are offered permanent employment with the same employer upon graduation. The School of Agriculture Placement Office located in room AGAD 127 helps graduating seniors secure jobs by arranging interviews with interested companies, by keeping up-to-date records of job opportunities, and by sponsoring an annual career day the second Tuesday of October. The School of Agriculture provides job and interview notices to the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture for posting. See the interview section on the horticulture and landscape architecture job placement board located next to room HORT 210. Additional assistance in procuring a job is provided for graduating seniors by the Purdue Center for Career Opportunities located in room 194 in Stewart Center.
