title: Job Seekers
subheading: Job Seeker Support for Alumni in First Job Search
---

Students decide to start their job search at different times in the program. Once you've started job searching, this is the page for you!

## Communication

### Slack
Join the following Slack communities:
- `#employment-round-one`: A channel for folks looking for their first job out of Turing
- `#employment-commons`: A channel for any alumni on the job search (could be their second, third, etc. job out of Turing)
- `#employment-salaries`: A channel for alumni to share transparency around their job hunt and offers

### Events & Calendar
The Graduate Services Events Calendar provides information for upcoming group check-ins, guest speakers, and any additional events for job seekers.
