The University of Texas at Austin Provides Resources For Unemployed Alumni and Employers Seeking to Hire

AUSTIN, Texas — AccessUT, a restricted Web site at The University of Texas at Austin, is becoming a powerful tool in helping unemployed alumni find their next job during a sagging national economy.

The AccessUT Web site, is an online job and internship database within the university's Hire Texas Web site that allows students and alumni to view postings from employers searching for their next hire, said Matthew Berndt, director of career services in the university's College of Communication. He said Hire Texas, also provides employers a free, centralized place to post professional, career-related job and internship opportunities for students and alumni.

Berndt said AccessUT requires job seekers to use an assigned Electronic Identification (EID) to access the system. Those who do not know their EID may contact the Registrar's Office at the university (512-475-7656) to claim a UT EID and temporary password.
