You’re encouraged to start your job search at least one semester before completing your program to give yourself the best chance at success. BSC Career Services are here to help! We can guide you with:

• Setting up and using your Handshake account
• Finding student employment, internships, or part-time, summer, and full-time positions
• Writing resumes and cover letters
• Preparing for interviews
• Navigating online job search tools
• Reviewing any suspicious job-related messages or opportunities

• Realistic interview simulations
• Feedback and insight on your performance
• Access to resources such as interview tips and commonly asked questions
• Flexible scheduling at times that are convenient for you

In addition to Handshake and Golden Path Solutions, BSC encourages students to explore a variety of online job-seeking websites. These resources can help you search for jobs both locally and across the country, prepare for interviews, and connect with potential employers.

• Indeed.com – One of the largest job search engines with opportunities across all industries.
• LinkedIn – A professional networking site where you can find job listings, connect with employers, and showcase your resume.
• USAJobs.gov – The official job site of the U.S. federal government.
• JobsND.com – Job search portal for North Dakota employers and job seekers.
• OMB Team ND Careers – North Dakota Office of Management and Budget's career portal for state job openings
• ND Workforce Connection – North Dakota’s workforce development and job match system
• Employment | Bismarck State College – For BSC student employee positions, part-time or full-time staff roles, or a faculty position

When searching for jobs online, it's important to stay vigilant. Legitimate employers will never request sensitive personal information—such as your Social Security number or banking details—during the initial application process. Be cautious of job postings that:

• Promise unusually high pay for minimal work
• Require upfront payments or purchases
• Use vague or unverifiable contact information

College students and community members seeking employment can meet with more than 100 employers, discuss career options and network with other business professionals in a variety of industries. BSC Human Resources representatives will also be available to discuss career opportunities at BSC. Attendees are advised to bring a resume and dress professionally.
