"Get a Job" is the title of a late 1950's song by the Silhouettes. Also a common concern of recent and soon to be SoE graduates. If you have a job, congratulations! If not, consider adding the "CIMC - Education Employment" page (
http://cimc.education.wisc.edu/ed_info/professional_guides/employment.html) to your job search effort.
Our Employment Guide features the following resources:

"Educational Placement and Career Services (EPCS)" -
http://careers.education.wisc.edu
