Career Planning Available on Campus by Verna Casper Forum staff writer Dont wait until the end of your senior year to prepare your resume, sharpen your interviewing skills and begin your career search. A valuable resource that all students, particularly juniors and seniors, should familiarize themselves with, is the Career Resource Center in Shaw Center. The purpose of the center is to assist students in their career research and preparation. I am really impressed with the way the center has helped me so far, said one senior who is preparing for an internship and involved in her career preparation. I have learned about the value ofinformation interviews and have gained a lot of self-confiden- ce through my consultations with Kathy and Karen. Career searches are time consuming andinvolvealotof effort includingfocusing on one or two particular careers, doing information interviews, preparing a resume, learning interview skills, networking and other important activities. One valuable career preparation tool is the internship. Many students are required to do an internship for their particular majors. However, even for students who arent required to complete internships, they can provide good experience and expose students to the working world without the pressures of a permanent career. Resources at the career center include the SIGI computer program for personal assessment of values, interests and job choices. Shelves of books are available, with information about different employers, and jobs. Students will also find books with information on opportunities in different majors. The career library contains books on subjects including government jobs, jobs of the future, changing jobs, career planning and employment directories. Many of the books can be checked out. Kathy Moran, Karen Despain, Penny Prodaniuk and student peer counselors are on hand to introduce students to the center, assist in fiiidinginternshipsandprovideinformation and guidance in career searches. Other services offered in the center are interview workshops and resume writing part-tim- e full-tim- e workshops. The next interview workshop will be held on Nov. 27 at 10:30 a.m. and Nov. 28 at 5:30 p.m. The next resume writing workshop will be held on Nov. 13 at 10:30 a.m. and Nov. 15 at 5:30 p.m. November 13, 1990 Issue 9 |
