I think a lot of the lack-of-visibility is because of the Career Center's complete-and-utter-mindless-focus on placing folks into consulting, finance, or legal jobs.
The Hollywood Mafia we've got operates almost entirely independently of the Career Center; the Film Studies department is practically their own placement agency.
Anyway, I'm not sure what the reasons are. I'm around on campus, working, if you want to build something. Lemme know.

Would love to talk to you more about this...pcortes at wes....
I've found the CRC really unhelpful in finding tech internships, and I assume it's the same for finding tech jobs. However, I understand it's probably not a priority given that the Econ department, for example, is about 20 times our size.
That means it's up to you to speak up, use the tools at your disposal (linkedin, wescan) to find the people who are more than willing to help, and to make the opportunity for yourself.
I actually didn't even do comp sci at Wes—I was an anthropology major. So, there's that.
And (also re: philco below) it's not so much that the CRC won't help you with getting a tech (or CRM/anthro/museum/etc.) job; it's just that the visibility of any public events related to those things is mighty low.
Ugh, employment.
