In order to assist students, alumni, and other friends of the Department connect with one another, we have created our student-alumni UCSB Department of Communication group on LinkedIn. Our LinkedIn group of 600+ members posts internship and job opportunities that target Communication students, recent graduates, and sometimes more seasoned alumni. Any member can post new listings at any time. Employers and alumni often post jobs on the Communication Student-Alumni, UCSB Facebook page and the student-alumni UCSB Department of Communication group on LinkedIn.

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
