The ITSC authentication service has become a very essential service to
many on-line applications of the University for authenticating the
identity of the staff and students, by means of the CWEM accounts,
before an access is granted. It is so important that the security of it
should be enhanced from time to time.

CU Job Link - A New Recruitment System
The IMU/ITSC has recently assisted the Office of Student Affairs (OSA)
in developing its online recruitment system - CU Job Link. Now, on the
campus network, you can search for a full-time job and also use the
powerful "matching" function to find a job that best fits you.
CU Job Link is powerful in
- helping you to search for and match full-time jobs.
- allowing you to create and keep your application letter and resume on
the system.
- letting you send applications to employers directly online
- helping employers to match and recruit potential applicants through
the system.
- alerting you with new job postings that meet your matching criteria
(like industry, expected salary and etc)
To login to CU Job Link, enter your Campus-wide E-mail System (CWEM)
computing id and password for authentication. Check
