Starting early is the key to getting a good job, said Randy Jensen, assistant director at USU's Career Services Center. He recommended beginning the search at least before the fall semester of a student's senior year in order to begin working after graduation. To get started, Jensen suggested using Google to discover for which job title students actually want to apply. Researching jobs by title and reading the description will help students choose their favorites, Jensen said. "Type in the job title and see what sites pop up," he said. The next tip Jensen gave was to search blogs for those that relate to the field students are interested in. Students can get a perspective of day-to-day life in certain jobs by reading blogs, he said. Once students know what they want to do, they should research jobs by location, Jensen said. Find out what the market is like in the areas they would like to live. "Most major cities have a Web site called jobbank.com," Jensen said. He also recommended www. careeraggie.usu.edu for a job search starting point. The most effective way to get a job is to use networking, Jensen said. He said 80 percent of college graduates say they found a job through a network of friends, family and business associates. Jensen suggested putting an online resume on networking sites, and tailoring the resume for the type of job students would like to get"Linked-in is probably the biggest Web site for professional resumes," he said. Jensen said students can stop by the Career Services Center daily between 1:30 and 3 p.m. for dropin resume-building advice. The Career Services Center is located on the ground floor of the University'Inn, Room 102. -brendon.butkr@aggiemaiL usu. edit The College of Science Honors Top Students & Faculty Awards Program & Reception April 22, 2009 3:30-5:30 pm Eccles Conference Center Auditorium, ECC 216 Reception following in ECC 205-207 Fall 2008 Valedictorian: Merissa Cunningham, Mathematics & Statistics Spring 2009 Valedictorian: Jake Jones, Biology Scholar of the Year: Jennifer Albretsen Roth, Physics Undergraduate Student Researcher of the Year: Sydney Chamberlin, Physics Graduate Student Researcher MS: Rebecca Atkins, Mathematics & Statistics Graduate Student Researcher PhD: Boris Averkeiv, Chemistry/Biochemistry Graduate Student Teacher of the Year: Brittany Allred, Mathematics & Statistics College of Science Undergraduate Research Mentor of the Year: J.R.
