Personal Information

The Career Center at the University of California, Los Angeles is committed to exercising sound and effective privacy practices with the electronic personal information of its users. We operate computer systems that are developed by our technical group and we also partner with external organizations for our job listings, resume database and campus interviewing services. Information collected by systems is used to tailor and deliver services to our customers and for program planning purposes. Information is also used to construct aggregate reports for state agencies and internal institutional studies.

Data collected by Career Center for in-house systems are stored in a secure database server at the Career Center . Collection and access to student information is governed by the following campus and federal policies:

Job listings, resume services and campus interviewing are provided through the NACElink Alliance system. The UCLA Career Center partners with the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), a nonprofit professional organization for career centers and employers, and Direct Employers Association, a nonprofit association of national employers, to offer these services. Resumes and profiles of students and alumni participating in any of these services reside on the NACElink servers. There are two resume data bases in the NACElink system; a central global resume database and a local resume database. Resumes of students and alumni are automatically placed in the local resume database. Students and alumni have the option of submitting their resumes to the central global resume database.

Jobs posted on the NACElink system may or may not be reviewed before posting. Site users are urged to validate job postings and use caution and common sense when applying. Do not disclose social security numbers, credit card information or bank account numbers to unknown employers. For details on their privacy practices, please review the NACElink Privacy Policy and the Direct Employers Privacy Policy. All privacy policies for our partners have been reviewed and accepted by the UCLA Career Center .
