Career Services Update - week of April 17, 2006!

* Congratulations New Hire! – Tanya Taylor has secured an internship with the Maine State Department of Probation and Parole. Tanya worked with Career Services on this one, in essence “creating” an internship because that department didn’t have any postings or openings. It’s amazing what a phone call, some hard work and patience can do. Tanya started on this 3 months ago and it’s paid off – way to go!!!!!

* Shake Hands With The Governor – About 2 weeks ago I emailed you directly about Governor Baldacci signing a proclamation concerning Maine Student Employment Week. This is a salute to you, the working student. Each year 2 Thomas students come with me to the State House to meet the Governor and then have lunch. I finally have the date: Friday April 28^th at 10:30am. I have received some thoughtful responses – but there is still time if you would like to be considered too. Please email me spelling out why you’d like to go and meet with the Governor next Friday. Any Thomas student is eligible (day or night – grad or undergrad). I’ll announce the winners Tuesday April 25^th.

* New Job Openings – A couple really cool ones for the summer just came together. The Chief Medical Examiner for the state of Maine has an internship in their office for the summer.

The Maine State Bar Association needs a Program Coordinator for the summer (this is a “job” as opposed to an internship). This has a marketing focus dealing with the association’s continuing education seminars for their membership (keep in mind a potential law student would also benefit from having this on their resume too)

Both of these positions can be found on our jobs posting website. They will not be viewable until the system updates at midnight (like you needed another reason to stay up…). If you have any questions about either of these positions please let me know.

Have a great week!
