In 2007 University of Virginia Human Resources launched "Jobs @ UVA," an online system for job seekers. Those who want to apply for positions at UVA should set up an online account. Job seekers will be able to apply for specific job postings, receive confirmation that their application was received, review the job postings and the status of the positions they applied for, and identify areas of interest so that recruiters can contact them when a position that matches their interests becomes available. Help with the new system is available at University Human Resources, Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. Online help is available on the Jobs @ UVA Web site, which features an online tutorial and FAQs page.

Let's face it: The main employer in Charlottesville
is the University and its Medical Center, which employ more than 11,000
people. You can check out available jobs on the Human
Resources web site. You must file a state application with Human
Resources. You can include a resumé but it probably won't be
forwarded to the departments hiring. In order for Human Resources to
match your application with a job opening, all the KSAs ("Knowledge,
Skills and Abilities") and the job categories on your application
MUST MATCH the job category and KSAs required for the vacant job. The
best idea is to stay on top of openings yourself and, if possible,
send your resumé and a letter to the department mentioned. A
University directory is available in Alderman
Library.
The Law School Career
Services Office sometimes receives information about jobs suitable
for partners of law students. These jobs are posted on the bulletin
board outside Career Services on the second floor of Slaughter.
Charlottesville’s unemployment rate is 2.6 percent; Albemarle County’s rings in at 1.3 percent.
