For current students and alumni seeking a team-focused work environment that exemplifies on-going training and room for growth, Oakland University Credit Union should be top of list.

As sponsor for the Virtual Fall Career Fair 2020, OUCU hopes to continue seeing the Oakland University community shine at their branches as employees and credit union members.

Top tips from OUCU when preparing for the Virtual Fall Career Fair:
  • Do your research and identify companies that you are interested in having a group or one on one session. Check out company social media sites and Glassdoor profile.
  • Use your resources! Make an appointment to review your resume and practice your elevator pitch with Career Services Consultants or Career Ambassadors.
  • Plan your time well. Schedule your sessions with employers prior to the day of the fair.
  • Prepare! Troubleshoot technology and set up a neutral, quiet space that will give your end of the video chat that professional edge. Make sure to have a business-appropriate outfit and have your contact information and LinkedIn profile ready for sharing.
  • Bring thoughtful questions for the employers.

Core values and a customer-focused mission are cornerstones at OUCU. The award-winning and nationally renowned credit union pledges "to provide superior services while assisting members and employees to achieve financial security, their goals, and ultimately, their dreams."

Currently hiring various full-time positions in their Michigan offices, OUCU encourages any major and education level job-seeker to apply and sign up for job alerts on their careers website. Support jobs listed include roles in IT, mortgages, indirect lending, HR, marketing, finance, accounting, risk management and more.

"We are building a regional office in Auburn Hills and this will offer more local opportunities in the near future," Verna Kay, OUCU Human Resources Business Partner said. "We occasionally have jobs in our branch locations and in the Community Development department in Oakland County. Visit our career page for the most up to date open jobs at oucreditunion.org/careers."

Reserve a one on one or group session spot with OUCU at the upcoming career fair on Wednesday, September 23, from 2 - 6 p.m. by visiting bit.ly/VFCF_20.
