Career Services Update - week of April 4, 2005!

 

 

* Congratulations New Hire! – Darcy Thomas has secured a Sales Assistant position at the Employment Times.  Darcy worked there last summer (ahhh, the power of the internship….) so she was in a great position when this spot opened up and will start after graduation in May.

 

* Shake Hands with the Governor – Maine Student Employment week runs Monday April 11th through Friday April 15th.  It’s a chance to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of students who are employed while attending classes.  Governor Baldacci has agreed once again to meet with students from Thomas and sign a proclamation celebrating this week.  The event is scheduled for Tuesday April 12th at 10:30am.  Here’s where you come in….

 

If you’d like to meet the Governor, email me indicating your interest.  Please include a paragraph on why you should be selected (you need to be working in a job or internship to qualify).  Two students will join me at the capitol and meet the Governor, then we’ll have lunch.  The deadline to apply is Friday April 8th at noon.   

 

* Career Fair Recap –   One last piece of housekeeping – the awarding of the Thomas sweatshirt from the bookstore.  Jenna Marstaller filled out the student survey and is our winner.  Jenna – please come to the Career Services office for your prize.

 

UMaine Farmington is having their annual Education Job Fair on Monday April 25th.  Thomas students are welcome to attend.  You’ll find more information at this link and you are encouraged to register with UMF here.

 

* Job Hunting Tips – The Maine.info website has links to all sorts of information about the state.  Of note here is the Maine Jobs section.  This features links to all types of employers which are broken down into 10 distinct categories.

    

* New Job Openings – There have been some additions to the jobs posting website while you were at break including a Tech Support position at Hanover Computer in Waterville, and an Auditor I position with Maine DHHS.  Other listings can be found here.

 

Have a great week!
