This company was just founded in September 2014, but already it has 3.5 million users and 300,000 companies using it to hire their next interns and full time hires.
WayUp is the leading online job marketplace exclusively for U.S. college students and recent grads. WayUp is the only site where employers can post a job to a targeted audience of students at any U.S. college. With 30,000 students joining each week, most of these users are millennials who are actively seeking out internship and full-time job opportunities at a wide range of companies.
WayUp works with companies of all sizes, from startups to Fortune 500s, to help them recruit millennial talent, and places 1 in every 3 people who apply on WayUp in a job.
Here are some benefits of creating a WayUp account:
1. 1 in 3 people who apply on WayUp get accepted
Stats don't lie. Many current college students get their first internship offer from this website. Why? On WayUp, you are matched with jobs you are qualified to apply for--based on your school, grade, major, and more.
2. Free career advice and interview tips
You can find this anywhere if you google "interview tips"; however, do other websites provide you with career prep guides by industry and major? How about professional advice on how to grow your professional network or handle feedback at work? WayUp even offers advice targeting introverts on how to speak up in meetings. WayUp's guide provides hundreds of articles and videos. Now, this is just hardcore prep.
3. WayUp sends out reminders about your job matches
I'm the first to admit that I may not be the most organized person in the world. But no worries, WayUp is there to remind you about that internship you "forgot" to apply to. You can pick your notification settings on WayUp--Do you want to receive emails or push notifications? Do you want to hear about new opportunities once a week, or once a day? You decide.
4. Website is user-friendly and efficient to use
I don't know about you, but whenever I go to any college career fair, many companies turn me away solely because I am just a first-year college student. However, WayUp makes sure that all the companies that I see on my home screen are companies that match my current status and criteria. Not to mention that sometimes all it takes is one click to apply for a job listed on the website. What is that, like 0.1 seconds?
5. Did I mention that this is all FREE?
Meaning that all this career prep advice, interview tips, resume and cover letter guidance and on top of that a database of all companies looking to hire interns and recent grads are all free...
If your fingers aren't itching to make an WayUp account by now, then you're one tough cookie.
