Capital One Career Opportunities

Since graduating from JMU in 2010, I have been with Capital One in their Information Technology Development Program (ITDP).  I have now been given a great opportunity to help do some recruiting at JMU, and am looking for candidates for the ITDP!

At first glance, most engineering students would probably shy away from a financial company.  However, the financial services industry has some of the highest stakes to protect the vast amounts of information we obtain and analyze.  Because of this, much of our business relies on our information technology.  We have found that engineers are perfect for some of the roles we are looking for, with the ability to solve real world problems, think analytically, and communicate issues and solutions to others.  Chris Tignor is in charge of Capital One's information security and is known to have built one of the best IS teams in the county - he is a JMU alum.  Several ITDP hires over the past couple of years have landed in his organization.

 

The ITDP is an awesome entry level opportunity and has multiple roles available, including Business Systems Analyst.  The job offers salaries on par with the industry, and competitive with other companies targeting engineering students.  Below is a great PDF that gives more background on the ITDP.

Capital One will be attending the career fair Monday 10/3 and performing on campus interviews the first week in November.  We have a job posting on Recruit-a-Duke as well, the application deadline being 10/20.  Here is a link to the posting https://jmu-csm.symplicity.com/students/index.php?mode=form&id=1ee9df6dd8b94bd4e81ed77429d4cc40&s=jobs&ss=jobs&.  For any questions regarding the Capital One recruiting process, students may reach out to Vanessa Mauskapf at vanessa.mauskapf@capitalone.com.
