What is myCCO? Career Fairs & Company Research with myCCO Job Search & Search Agents

  

WHAT IS MyCCO?

MyCCO is where Purdue students and alumni search and apply for internships, full-time positions and part-time community jobs, including Federal Work-Study. You may also schedule interviews and see which companies are coming to campus for career fairs and information sessions.

HOW DO I ACCESS MY ACCOUNT?

If you are a current student, simply click the Login button to the left and enter your Purdue login and password.

HOW CAN I MAKE THE MOST OF MY ACCOUNT?

Edit Profile Privacy to be included in Resume Books and receive emails from myCCO.

Resume Books are a feature of myCCO that allow employers to pull resumes from students who meet the criteria of a position they are looking to fill.  When you say Yes to Resume Books in the Privacy section in your Account Settings, you have more opportunities to have your resume seen by employers.
