Career Services is pleased to announce a new software system that will combine the features of the current Optimal Resume and eRecruiting systems into a single system called TigerLink. The new system, powered by Symplicity, will go live on May 26, 2015.

The new TigerLink system will provide current students and graduates of the University with access to job and internship listings, career fair information, on-campus interview schedules, resume and cover letter templates, online practice interviews, and the ability to schedule career advising appointments through an online calendar system.

Students will be able to access the system with the same user name and password used for other University resources such as MyMemphis. Graduates of the University may create a TigerLink account by contacting the Career Services office once the new system has gone live.

If you have links to Optimal Resume and/or eRecruiting on your website, you will want to relink to the TigerLink system on or after May 26, 2015. As a courtesy, we will send you the login links for the TigerLink system when it goes live on May 26.

• If students have documents saved in the Optimal Resume system that they wish to keep, they need to download and save those documents by May 22. The Optimal Resume system will not be available after May 22 at 4:30 p.m.
• If students have documents saved in the Experience eRecruiting system that they wish to keep, they need to download and save those documents by May 22. The Experience eRecruiting system will not be available after May 22 at 4:30 p.m.
