Attention Seniors/Graduates:gradz


Congratulations on your upcoming December or May graduation! We wish you much success in the future.

If you are a December 2009 graduate, please take a moment to login to your HIRE-A-VOL account and complete the Graduate Placement Survey. We are looking for information about your post-graduation plans. This information allows Career Services to release accurate statistics concerning average starting salaries and more. The information remains confidential, and any released information does not directly link to your name. If you are a May 2010 graduate who has already accepted an offer, you can also complete the Graduate Placement Survey with your information as soon as you have officially determined your employment upon graduation.

Don't forget: University of Tennessee Alumni are invited to access HIRE-A-VOL for life!
