Signpost Tuesday, September 27, 1983 Bl laces Students i v Two WSC students look over the jobs listed on the bulletin board. r-"iryfflnrffftTi1fn'fnf1fi' by Michael Bouy Staff Reporter Perhaps there should be a "We Want You!" sign outside the office. More precisely, the sign should read: "We want you to get a job in your career field!" Weber State's Career Services Center is determined to help place students with a job in their major field, and is encouraging students to register with the office immediately.Pat Wheeler, who is in charge of coordinating corporate recruiters, emphasized that graduating seniors need to register with the center this week to be involved in the on-campus interviewing schedule by major corporation recruiters. "Interviewing by these corporations begins in early October and runs until Novermber, so anyone who waits until spring to register will be too late!" said Wheeler. To register, students need ten dollars to open a Senior Placement File at the office, located in UB 280. For the ten dollars, the student receives job interviews with the corporations of their choice, recieves computerized bulletins on new jobs available in their field, and up to five copies of their file sent to the employers of their choice. Students and alumni will then have a permanent job file at the college which they can update and change at any time. The Senior Placement file includes a data sheet covering all academic and work experience, as well as letters of recommendations. The file can be kept confidential or open, according to student preference. The permanent status of the file at the college provides the student with a ready reference for any future career needs. Students also receive feedback from the career center on their interview skills, as recriuiters complete an interview rating card on each student. Recruiters include people form Harvard and Pepperdine University Law Schools, as well as the IRS and other federal agencies, plus corporations such as Northrop, Hughes Aircraft, American Microsystems and Garrett Turbine. Other Signpost photoGrove Pashley corporations recruit students in other fields including: accounting, chemistry, criminology, communications, and many others. The full-time nine member staff at the Career Services Center operates many programs for campus students. For those seeking part-time employment, an available job list from surrounding communities is kept current in the foyer across from the games center. A career information library containing over 5,000 volumes plus films , and periodicals on career planning and development is kept at the center, as well as information on over 20,000 businesses, industries and publice service organizations. Steve Eichmeier runs the center's Cooperative Education Program, which provides college juniors and seniors with work experience in their area of professional interest as they complete their studies. The 'parallel plan' enables students to leave the campus for a three to six month experience with a corporation or federal agency. "The cooperative education program allows employers to look at students as potential employees, gives students job experiece, and allows him a chance to apply his schooling to his career field," said Eichmeier. "Students who do not register with the program in their junior or senior years are very unwise" he concluded. The title 'cooperative education' stems from the advantage offered students of receiving college credit from employment related to their major. Wheeler said anyone who already had a job related to their major could be eligible for college credit, and should check with the office. The Career Office is offering a new service this year with a comprehensive computerized testing service to help students explore their personal interests and match those with compatible jobs. The testing takes into account interests, values, preferred lifestyle, salary and work, and goes into greater depth than the old Work Interest Questionnaire. The Career Center offers many other programs, all as a free service, (except for the Senior Placement File fee), and encourages students to come in and take advantage of the services. A Career Services Center worker helps two students with their job choices. Signpost photoGrove Paihiey |
