Career Services Update - week of March 27, 2006!

* Congratulations New Hire! – Derek Dumont has secured a Cost Analyst position with Bath Iron Works. Derek was one of the first students to ask for my help in finding part-time work over 2 years ago when I started here at Thomas. Now he’s leaving. I will need to type fast as my tears may well up and foul the keyboard…….

* Career Fair (post-race teardown edition) – The Career Fair on the 15th went very well from all accounts. The recruiters were much more impressed with the way students presented themselves this year as opposed to last (nice job!). Some of you also asked about internships – this was great because when employers hear it from you they listen. I heard from several representatives who will now consider taking on interns in the future.

Keep in mind these folks are still looking to hire students. You can check the final list of attendees by clicking here. I also have contact information for all of the recruiters in my office if you’d like to have it.

The fair will focus on summer jobs, is open to all college students and will be held Friday April 7^th from 1:00 – 4:00pm at the Augusta Civic Center.
