    This could not have been possible without TPE Onsite and the once in a lifetime opportunity that it has provided me in getting my dream job.

    I was challenged to perform in a professional format. I was also encouraged to begin building a professional network within the field of Student Affairs.

TPE Spring Virtual Event: The premier job placement event in Student Affairs.

For over 10 years, The Placement Exchange has focused on providing a high-quality, comprehensive job search experience which prepares candidates for every aspect of the search process. This effort is led by a team of professionals who are experts in our field and represent the numerous functional areas in Higher Education and Student Affairs. Through our commitment to excellence, strong customer service, professional development, and education, we devote our energy to building a positive, synergistic, innovative, and educational career placement experience for all TPE stakeholders.   

TPE Spring Onsite provides an efficient and affordable option for hundreds of employers to find great candidates, and for candidates to interview for open positions at hundreds of campuses nationwide.  Virtual TPE candidates will have access to great resources including preparation webinars, career coaches, interview assistance, resume review, and more.  The TPE Spring Virtual Event has the benefit of numbers (candidates, employers, job posts, interviews), but the quality of personalized resources and amenities during a crucial time in the search process.  A completely virtual TPE will allow for greater flexibility for employers, as well as fewer financial limitations (travel, hotel, time away from work, etc.) for both candidates and interview teams.  

Job searching isn't easy yet over 92% past candidates recommend TPE Onsite to other candidates and a remarkable 99%+ of participating employers recommend the event. TPE Onsite averages over 10,000 onsite interviews while creating a personalized, comfortable experience for candidates and employers.  TPE is transitioning to a virtual event for 2021.  TPE Virtual will maintain the opportunity for personalized connections, quality jobs, and efficiency of interviews, while increasing opportunities to connect with more employers.  And, the Virtual format will remove many of the barriers and limitations of our former place-based event ... no expensive plane tickets, hotels or meals and no unneccessary time away from work, school, family, or other commitments. 

Whether you need assistance with career and resume advice, interview scheduling, connecting with TPE partner associations, or help navigating any aspects of the job search process, TPE is your go-to resource and the TPE team will be here every step of the way. It is no accident that TPE candidates are moe likely to find jobs than their colleagues. We look forward to keeping our record strong and partnering with you to make this your best placement experience ever.
