Show May 10, 1977 Page 4 Signpost Center helps find employment by Rex Leetham "Plan ahead, come in and take advantage of the placement program." That is the advice James Kelly, Director of Career Planning and Cooperative Education and Placement, gives to students at WSC. According to Kelly, the major problem students encounter with the Placement Center is that they fail to come in early enough for advice and counseling. Many students go into the Placement Center during the spring quarter of their senior year and expect to find a job. Kelly said the students should seek placement services no later than October or November of their senior year. Takes time Landing the right job is not an easy process; it involves a lot of time and effort. Kelly notes that the student who seeks early assistance from the Placement Center should: "Be prepared to put out as much effort as another three hour class." By attending seminars, the student can learn how to prepare for interviews, various interview strategies, techniques of communication and other important aspects involved in looking for a job. Kelly said the student should also expect to hold at least 6 to 8 interviews while working with placement. There are anywhere from 400 to 600 different campus recruiters who hold interview sessions at WSC each year, all of which are held through the Placement Center, Kelly said. Lifetime file Another service available to graduating seniors is a lifetime placement file. This file is not only used in seeking for a job, but also as an aid in applying for graduate school. It may be kept as a current reference source throughout the individual's career, and then, upon request, a copy of the file will be sent anywhere, to any agency or corporation which the individual is applying to. Objective The main objective of the Placement Center, Kelly said, "is to have people lined up with a job before they graduate." He also said, "Anyone can get a job at anything they want to if they are willing to put forth the effort." "The Placement Center would also like to see Freshmen students to help guide them with their career planning and to help them "develop a career awareness to get the job," Kelly said. Hours The Placement Center is open to students from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Thursday and Friday. On Tuesday and Wednesday the center is open from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. 1898. Spanish Armada gets taste of Dewey. Dewey's crew gets taste of San Miguel. May 1st, 1898. Spain controls the Philippines, but out in Manila Bay U.S. Navy Commodore George Dewey wants the Spanish ships removed. So at 5:41a.m., with the help of his able captain, he sends them his request. He says, "You may fire when ready, Gridley." The message gets through loud and clear. And a short time later Commodore Dewey becomes Admiral Dewey. Once ashore, his men discover one reason, the Spaniards were reluctant tp eave. A masterfully bretaed b&er called San Miguel. Pale Pilsner (Light). And Cerveza Negra (Dark). Rich, malty, with an intriguing taste. The men are delighted. As news of Dewey's triumph spreads, so among beer connoisseurs does the reputation of the rich tasting beer known as San Miguel. Now, as then, San Miguel is naturally brewed from the choicest hops, malt, and barley obtainable throughout the world. Still naturally carbonated. Still painstakingly aged to let the rich, natural flavors ripen to their full smoothness.
