Career Services

Jobline is loaded with too many opportunities to list for this week. Numerous summer camp positions, a student worker position with our office, and many more are now posted. Email, call, or stop by if you need help finding a job or internship. Finally, don't forget our Spring Internship Orientation session January 24th at 4:00 PM in Buhler 304.

Well, the weather doesn't quite say "Spring" yet, but we are definitely in the new semester swing.  Welcome back to any and all students and readers.  Spring is a busy time for Career Services.  Graduation, employer recruitng, grad school applications and acceptance, job fairs, internships, summer job and internship searches...wow. 

Our first post of this semester comes out of discussion with our Career Services advisory group.  This group is made up of current students from each class year and outside constituents and colleagues.  Some of the topics brought up at a recent session included job search expectations and making sure you have a backup plan.  Here are some resources dealing with some of these issues and planning for the new year.  As always, contact our office if you need any help  managing your career path.
