RU Career Account
The RU Career Account is a web-enabled database, which assists Career Services in bringing employers together with alumni. The database contains an up-to-date listing of career opportunities with local, regional and national employers, so users are encouraged to frequently access their RU Career Accounts.

Employers also utilize the database to search for candidate resumes and schedule campus interviews, so it is highly beneficial for alumni to upload and publish their resumes via the system’s resume books.

To register for an RU Career Account, contact Career Services, 816.501.4061, to schedule an appointment. There is a $25 fee for six (6) months access to the RU Career Account system for Rockhurst University alumni.
