The Career Center is committed to providing virtual services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Online Career Coaching appointments can be scheduled through Cardinal Career Link. Programming such as presentations and group events will be delivered via WebEx. The Career Center has also created a number of alternative experiences in lieu of a presentation.
Internships and Full-Time Job Searches
Employment opportunities will continue to be posted on Cardinal Career Link daily. To learn how to set up a job alert, watch this video.
For the remainder of the Spring 2020 semester, referrals will be issued via phone or email.
Students can provide up to six referral reference numbers per request. Once referral reference numbers are provided via phone or email, a Career Center representative will follow the same procedures set for an in-person referral request.
- Job descriptions will be reviewed with the student via phone or email.
- The Career Center representative will verify that the student is qualified for a job opportunity.
- When the student meets the requirements to apply for the job, the Career Center representative will confirm the student's Ball State email address and email the referral request form(s) for the qualified jobs to the student.
It is the student's responsibility to contact the hiring department or off-campus organization to schedule an interview. The Career Center will not contact the employer to schedule appointments on the student's behalf.
Submitting Paperwork for New Hires
All new student employees of the university (both citizen and non-citizen) must complete a Form I-9 no later than the actual beginning of their employment to indicate that they are authorized to work in the United States. As of March 20, 2020, the Department of Homeland Security has confirmed that all new employees must come to Lucina Hall 235, to complete their employment verification in person. We will continue to monitor the situation and report back if accommodations will be made in light of social distancing protocol.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS: U. S. citizens must present documents that establish identity and employment authorization. Examples of a document that establishes both identity and employment authorization are a:
• Driver’s license issued by a state
• An ID card issued by federal, state or local government agencies
• School ID card with a photo.
Examples of documents that establish employment authorization are a social security card or a birth certificate. Both documents must be original; photocopies will not be accepted.
